And Goddess of Destiny Ordained That We Meet

And Goddess Of Destiny Ordained That We Meet

I walk through silent waters so slowly adrift
My doomsday heart racing just to barely keep up
The old barn owl flies forth, so adamantly swift
I drink gaspingly my joy in my bright golden cup
No matter, the black shadow follows my same path
Even this beaming new dawn cannot stop its flight
The olden gods they live again venting heartless wrath
Death arrives on silver wings and with darken night.

I walk out of silent waters, a brand new soul
Rage, chaos and heartache could not spirit defeat
For purity of our love protects loving souls
And goddess of destiny ordained that we meet.

Thank I, life giveth this greatest of golden treats.
Left far behind are my pains and useless defeats.

Robert J. Lindley, Sonnet
September 22nd, 1973

Note:
"Momentary lapse, where this life seems worth living.
 Where Fate forgets its ire and lets love start giving."
