Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

When Spring, Its New Symphony One's Pleading Soul Hears

When Spring, Its New Symphony One's Pleading Soul Hears

When Spring, its velvet fingers sweeter music plays
New dawns gasping with sunlight streaming all around
Vanished, icy chills from somber winter days
Replaced by Nature's beauty and its living sounds
Life takes on a new bounce, heart a jubilant song
World opens up, its echoes crying out, "Let us live"
We that in this realm must battle to get along
And in hope of hopes, strive to love and act to give!

When Spring, its eager hands majestic music sends
Nights may bring blessings of hot romantic fevers
Life, Love, Harmony, Creation so softly blends
Dancing depths of beauty, makes us true believers!

When Spring, its new symphony one's pleading soul hears
We may live, leaving behind past sorrows and tears!

Sonnet, ( From A Walk In The Bright Woods On A Sweet New Morn )

Note: 
Striving to leave doom and gloom behind, I wrote this new poem.
A poem born from a memory of a new Spring day back in 1977.
That Saturday morn while getting breakfast at a nearby restaurant,
I met a ravishingly beautiful lady and instantly fell in love.
Such bliss as one can never forget and later Fate's cruel hand
that brought that loss that forever burns as cries in midnight dreams
of a devastating loss that scars one's soul forever.
The poem expresses the beauty and joy of that first morn and both
of our deep loves of Nature and its many gifts.

I adored this romantic interlude! xxoo Robert Lindley April 27, 2020 at 7:03 AM Thank you my friend. Remembering some things is a great treasure to so many of us- especially we in the older stages of life. God bless..

Rob Carmack April 23, 2020 at 6:02 PM I like that you add some history to the poem. Life is full of loss, but it has helped me appreciate the good times that much more. Robert Lindley April 24, 2020 at 5:22 AM Thank you my friend. Life is full of loss and world is pretty much a few hundred times darker than most people would admit or else than most people see. The deliberate refusal to actually see, is an inborn coping mechanism , imho. Very convenient to not have to worry about such, go on ones way in blissful blindness. Always easiest to swim with the flow-- of course that is going downstream- which is harmful in far more ways than just one. God bless..

Stay safe Tom Robert Lindley April 22, 2020 at 7:36 PM Thank you my friend. * Yes, when a distraction is needed, poets can pen. * Words cast that can bring on happiness yet again.* Delicious if told and happens to be true.* A treasure, oft when the telling is overdue.
