Purpose Found --Italian Sonnet

Reformulating life as it appears
does not explain thy need to know too much,
and prithee pray to thee, a silent touch
upon this earth, as rain returns to tears…
And then the light shall fade, and turn to sleep
awakening the lost entombed, to dream,
beginning now to see thy truth through seams
returning sameness to the murky deep.

Behold! Thy news is good – so rise ye men!
And mere no more, thee rising sun is blind
to earthly burdens, weight and needy things,
alive, thy senses whole, become begin.
Unformed by way of want and setting mind,
farewell to last, thy own has come to kings.

    Beautiful words K :) You are the queen of sonnets.
    “beginning now to see thy truth through seams
    returning sameness to the murky deep.

    Continue becoming, continue blossoming, continue being you as you have not been before; I KNOW that your not yet having been will make you more and more beautiful each day. It does!You are my Queen: FOREVER & IN ALL TRANSMUTATIONS. And I, as rich as a King by virtue of the simple fact of your being! You are the most sublime of dancing stars; may I have this dance? RBG

  • Kristin Reynolds replied

    I will.
    you can.
    always.
    love, the Kdog
