Time and Again

Time and again at break of morn
a coral tone will dawn adorn.
Magenta heralds night’s release,
a halt in sunlight’s golden fleece
to moon and stars in darkness sworn.

When from the living left forlorn
our earthly mortal days are torn,
is this a mere unsung caprice
time and again,

no threnody on heavens’ horn
with being of existence shorn?
Or could there be a cryptic crease
as part of cosmic masterpiece
where all that died would be reborn
time and again?


~ Harley White

Not many people use this form but this is a wonderfully constructed Rondeau. Beautiful poetry, Harley, I enjoyed this piece very much. John

In case you are interested, I post many more or my poems on Poem Hunter than here because many of my poems are "too long" for this site. Poem Hunter has no word limit and I can post my poems, images and info for free.
