Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Time Runs On Past Every Bend

Time Runs On Past Every Bend

Down new trail with purpose and gentle ease
chasing hope and new morn's glowing smile.
Flowing along with a sunrise breeze
heart stopping awe, every once in a while.

Branches overhead wrapped in deep forest green
bird songs filling this emerald isle.
Sun gracing the screaming sky blue sheen
above this leaf carpeted aisle.

Hoping time here never dares to end
as wanting heart finds its needed glow.
Yet find that time runs on past every bend
and brings Nature's all, along in tow.

Down new trail with purpose and gentle ease
spirit flows along with a sunrise breeze.

Viv Wigley July 7, 2016 at 2:21 PM Lovely, Robert. Rich in imagery, interlaced with something appropriately spiritual. You really do Sonnets very well. Regards, Viv

Tom Quigley July 5, 2016 at 6:02 PM Beautiful! Out of curiosity, is the "if" in line 5 supposed to be "in"? Robert Lindley July 5, 2016 at 9:23 PM Thanks Tom, yes the word is supposed to be in --has been corrected now..
