The Thrist

World from me swiftly depart Quiet all the bustle especially the tongue Let me today hear only messages from the heart Let me remember those years when young When there was not reason for a drouth All was well and happy that I could surmise Anything that came from my mouth Whatever I saw with my keen eyes Would not bring to anyone's eyes tears Those carefree years sometimes long to go back But time has passed and so many years When in reveries I feel an attack I just listen to my bird friends sing And so you I bring my mind to think (Incorrect syllable count, I know..)

I don't worry too much about syllable count in a sonnet. They are too hard to write without that. Sometimes it does hurt to remember and know we can never revisit that time again. Good write Sara

Beautifully written, Sara. When I feel sad or nostalgic, finding peace through nature (like listning to your bird friends) really helps. Love, Carolyn

Good work with expressive a bit of melancholia and the decision to focus on the simple things that inspires the soul to be at peace. Thanks for your comments on my selected poems in the poetry contest. Be well! Caroline.
