    Sonnet for Life

    Sonnet for Life

     

    I am the breath of dawn, felt in the air,

    the spark of love, seen deep within his eyes,

    the feel of silk, his fingers in her hair,

    the warmth in his touch, as it brings her sighs.

     

    I’m the seed of hope, growing in her womb,

    the beat of a heart that will live to die,

    the cry of the innocent, from the tomb,

    will never know how to learn...how to cry.

     

    I’m the fear, the pain, an unwanted birth,

    the tears of joy that she will never share,

    the child of love that will leave from this earth,

    just torn from her womb. Why couldn’t they care?

     

    I’m the voice of angels, heard above,

    who welcome their child, with undying love.

    There is sadness and hope in this poem. I like the progression of it and the blessing at the end. Very nice!

    This steeps in the panorama which is lif'e's visual passion and great compassion, bringing purpose and reward in the bigger picture. I was moved and inspired. Comment consistently on the work of others and slowly, you'll see more comments, which I believe you deserve! Applause Crescendo! (easy 10)

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
