Piper At GAtes of Dawn If Only For A Week...... Sonnet 1 In my mind, a piper dawns and plays his songs to me His tales match mine of woes and loves and thoughts of only thee Painful tunes in need of change that greet me every morn Yet in the nighttime angels share and gather words reborn Weary now, and spiritless, no peace, none can be found Each time I listen for that lilt, a distant calling sound It drifts on by, not meant for me, to ease another's fears As time, it passes, once again and months turn into years Keep reaching high and far and wide from sunrise to it's set Wanting words to join my heart and sadness to forget At gates of dawn, I see him there, the piper with his eyes Tearing, as he plays for me his tune of loss and lies Gathering strength and moving forth, from desolate must seek A place to stay, a place to rest, if only for a week A Heavenly Sound ......Sonnet 2 I feel his every movement as he greets me in the morn His rhythms that I lean to hear when shattered and forelorn Entice me, make me follow him, this piper and his dreams Forever an eternity, been searching, so it seems He flies me to a galaxy where twinkling lights adorn Their glowing barely touches me, yet golden I have worn Angelic faced I do become, in perfect harmony When e're the piper's spirits fly, I rise, in memory And float the heavens in my mind, the wars have all been won Without a care, defeat is naught, am aiming for the sun The shine and warmth in need of now, to soothe the scars to heal Tomorrow brings the best to come, and with it love, I feel And when the dawn appears this next, I'll stand upon this ground Look up to see the angels fly, full of this heavenly sound Maureen 2k *two sonnets from a sonnet redoubled challenge |

Thank you Marcy...A sonnet redoubled is a sonnet given and each line becomes the last line in another sonnet..so you have 15 sonnets in all..the original and 14 more... we did it to two separate poems and were successful in the poets coming forth and completing the challenge...I enjoyed the lines I chose.. ~~soft smiles Maureen |
