A Sonnet that I wrote yesterday:
Sunset
The night draws slowly in, the sun goes down,
Red fills the sky and nourishes my soul,
Gone is the grey sky's ever darkening frown,
No longer do I hear the death bell's toll,
My sad heart leaps with untold joy again,
I know there's hope, the flame within me grows,
Fanned into life, that this new joy begins,
As summer greets the blooming of the rose,
Red like the sky, its petals wafer thin,
Holding their own in summer's falling rain,
I too, though frail can find the strength within,
To take me through this ever galling pain,
I watch the sunset fading in the sky,
And know I have no bitter tears to cry.
