Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Sonnet

Waiting For Eternal Sleep

WAITING FOR ETERNAL SLEEP

The journey began with sunrise promise
On the garden path of beautiful life,
The flowers bloomed, destiny in disguise
Brushed calm colors on the drab times of strife.

The path at edge of horizon unclear
I traveled for long, exhausted and thirsty,
The music of the setting sun I hear
My heart plays the tune of melancholy.

Daylight would disappear for night would fall
Your stretched arms my sleepy eyes could see.
I’m tired, it’s time you hear my final call,
Come, to the abode of bliss you take me.

No more promises I now have to keep,
I plead, put me to this eternal sleep.

Gershon Wolf August 2, 2018 at 8:36 AM Well-crafted, Subimal. Shades of the third act of Thornton Wilder's play, "Our Town," where the narrator opines, in a scene set in a cemetary: "We're all waiting for that eternal something to come out in us." ... Excellent write, and congrats on your win! Best wishes, Gershon Subimal Sinha-Roy August 2, 2018 at 11:08 PM Thank you, Gershon for visiting and for your inspirational comments.
