Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

There In Shimmering Rays of Golden Light

There In Shimmering Rays Of Golden Light


There in shimmering rays of golden light
angel divided deep dark from dark night.
With flash of sword, eternal truth of God
light penetrated all stones, seas and sod.

Violet scented air was born anew
fairer winds swiftly swirled hope bold and true
Dawn burst, life teemed in peaceful quietude
man's birth, universe lost its solitude.

Nature's new dawns contrived so splendidly
man fought Nature, rose independently.
Ponders now, why he is cursed and sick
while he destroys earth's bounty hard and quick. 

Truth, in for a penny in for a pound.
Best find light, if wanting to stay around.
