Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

There In Morning Sun, Hope Circled Enticing Dreams

There In Morning Sun, Hope Circled Enticing Dreams


From inside gaping jaws, golden honey slow drips
its taste as if bitter hell came with deadly judgment
life turned into a bevy of sunken ships
with the dried up bones below a sadden statement.

With solid granite illuminating moon 's glow
ironclad hills buried secrets sadder mysteries
impropriety ran in and melted wicked snow
starving for more people ate from empty granaries.

The wicked angels flew about on leaden wings
watching for the innocence of the golden truth
dawn's light erupted brought the small songbirds that sing
for hot romance and the vanities of our youth.

There in morning sun, hope circled enticing dreams.
Father time gave its fruit to fill the icy streams.

Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet,
Feb 25th, 1971
