The Spirit of Emily Dickson Still Lives
The spirit of Emily Dickson still lives...
from her sensitive soul, words of hope
and fortitude flow as spring rivers,
and their sprightly sounds makes one look.
And closely look into her life not lived for glory,
find those treasures she sew in a fascicle;
can her poems be appreciated and not annoy
the reader who seeks words not very humble?
Emily ponders sorrow and death...being not afraid,
and while looking to the infinite, serene Heavens:
she accepts her fate and turns it into a quest of faith,
to make her journey a memorable one before it ends.
Let her gentle, firm voice warn you of an unexpected, fierce storm;
feel the cold breeze turn into a strong wind as she beats her drum.
My Sonnet is a tribute to Emily Dickson.
