Brian Strand Poet Sonnet

With Eyes Blind a Sonnet

An empty space,filled by light
brings simplicity to life,
the empty heart,fills with pain,
cries out why,again,again,
and still the emptiness remains;
Simplicity forgotten
in complexity will drown,
darkness overwhelms the mind,
despair see nought,with eyes blind;
light fills up the empty space
and illumes the vacant place,
hope blots out disappointment
as our emptiness relents.

Singularity brings forth clarity
on which imagination then flies free.

Cyndi Macmillan March 23, 2017 at 8:58 AM What a lovely sonnet! This form has always been and will forever be my favourite. Favourite part: illumes the vacant place. Well done. Thanks for the great blog and the chance to freely discuss this mad obsession we all share-- poetry. Cheers.
