'My Unanswerable Question' © by Lily B Of Death and beyond I oft obsess And query all who’d lend an ear Beliefs on Heav’n and saving Grace Bestowed upon our loved ones dear. Upon my sister’s self-demise I fretted where her soul may land, For angry gods no doubt despise A mortal’s death by her own hand! Yet, would not those whose minds belied Their common sense and means to cope Be spared the judgement set aside For those with reason, wit and hope? Lo! Until the passing of mine own last breath, I’ll continue to ponder the mechanics of Death. (a varied Shakespearean sonnet) |

Welcome Lily, Wonderfully written sonnet. Sad but excellent. Good to have you here. The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |

Welcome to the forum that has more light that you can imagine... that's a beautifully written sonnet... it's truly...well done... If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light... Avanti Rao |
