Yet We Endure, We Lost Devils of Mankind
Yet We Endure, We Lost Devils Of Mankind
O' what boldness the soft-shoe'd thief had
when rustling through my heart's home.
Invisible- never seen, but wickedly bad
and just as complicated as a geodesic dome.
Sent ahead- her vision to my soul entice
she of wondrous eyes and softest arms.
Knowing I'd be trapped by my own device
and never resist the lures of her charms!
Life's ancient irony is that love is blind
and biggest fool, a wishful hero to be.
Yet we endure, we lost devils of mankind
desperately swimming, each in our sea.
Of earth's patient resilience, love yet stands.
Victor, across each border and all the lands!
Robert J. Lindley, 10-28-2015
Note- A sonnet dedicated to this fine day!
I woke- sweet light met my eyes
aware that everybody dies
My- how youth and dear time fly
life again- yet for another day,
or is that just another comforting lie?
