There In Glistening Dewdrops, Invisible Worlds May Lie
There In Glistening Dewdrops, Invisible Worlds May Lie
There in glistening dewdrops, invisible worlds may lie,
unseen yet thriving beyond unimaginative thoughts,
etching those magical moments as sun's gleaming rays dry
salty tears as those born from bloody battles fought.
Shall we in our blindness, such possibilities deny,
parade in arrogance as if mankind knows all
forget the past, billions of tears survivors cry
when we race down our own imagined golden halls?
What holds true in mankind's bloody history of war deaths
could it be true, we are destroyers of our own course
chaining ourselves beneath dark waters, out of breath
speaking lies in frivolous, and useless discourse?
There in glistening dewdrops, invisible worlds may lie.
Etching those magical moments as sun's gleaming rays dry.
Robert J. Lindley,
Sonnet, ( Poetically Looking Into Imaginative Realms And Seeing Reality )
