Walk Each and Every Gentle Step and Dearest Mile

Walk Each And Every Gentle Step And Dearest Mile

Deny ravages of Time and its ill Fated winds
let sun's bright, promising rays penetrate and heal
If destined to outlive dear families and friends
consider it not Fate's wrath you may sadly feel.

Wake to explore this great world, its hidden gems seek
for 'morrows bring sweeter dreams to investigate
follow Light and Truth for there nirvana thus peaks
as manna gifted, behind heaven's golden gates.

Upon streets welcoming with cheer and open arms
walk each and every gentle step and dearest mile
For only love exists there, never any harms
upon each angelic face, rests a joyful smile.

Wake to explore this great world, its hidden gems seek.
Follow Light and Truth for there nirvana thus peaks.

"Upon streets welcoming with cheer and open arms" Such a beautiful thought. Very comforting. To know you are surrounded by loved ones. When the heart feels lost and weary, moments are dreary. Thinking of Heaven's grace, brings peace. Your thoughts caress gently around me. ~ Brandy

Love this purest form of the Sonnet genre and how masterful you are at forming it and showing us the story and emotion. This is excellent and reminds us of how fast time passes. I didn’t do a sonnet but did a rhyme called Mayfly that speaks to some of this. I found it a difficult task while you handled it so smoothly. Good Write.

There are many gems out there; too often we fail to look and see them shining, waiting there for us to revel in their beauty. Well penned.
