I thought it would be fun to share something completely different with you. It's been a while, but I used to dabble in poetry. One of my favorite forms of poetry is the sonnet. It's a challenge to choose the perfect words to fit into the strictures of the form, but when they do, it can be breathtaking! I thought it would be fun to share one that I wrote many years ago. It is A Sonnet to Music:
My fearful heart a ragged drum does beat
Yet sweetest music beckons, so I try;
And so I find my way with wooden feet
My place I take and deeply do I sigh.
The music plays, my eyes I close
As melody 'round my soul entwines;
It weaves its spell, my fears I do compose:
I am transported to a world sublime!
Her heavenly sunshine warms my face,
Her gentle breeze my soul revives,
And wrapped within her sweet embrace
My spirit soars, and thus my song does rise:
And for a fleeting moment I may touch the sun
And I am blest for She and I are one!
My fearful heart a ragged drum does beat
Yet sweetest music beckons, so I try;
And so I find my way with wooden feet
My place I take and deeply do I sigh.
The music plays, my eyes I close
As melody 'round my soul entwines;
It weaves its spell, my fears I do compose:
I am transported to a world sublime!
Her heavenly sunshine warms my face,
Her gentle breeze my soul revives,
And wrapped within her sweet embrace
My spirit soars, and thus my song does rise:
And for a fleeting moment I may touch the sun
And I am blest for She and I are one!
