Life Changes

In my deepest, darkest hour,
Came the purest, crimson flower.
It touched my heart with essence rose,
Stirring me from deep repose.

It gifted me with scent so sweet,
I soon became a soul complete.
I found my way to Shangri-la,
On mountain top I stood in awe.

The skies were blue with crystal light,
The stars and moon filled up the night.
The air was warm like zephyr breeze,
And dreams hung down from heaven's trees.

I felt a peace not known before,
As I walked through Eden's door.
Never shall I wail or wallow,
For the stars I now will follow.

My life had changed in darkest hour,
All because of crimson flower.

I've gotta say this is our Sey too...the rhyme leads me to believe it is...
and if not, still, very well done Linda!

Very well done, indeed

Sy seems to be a favorite costume this year, and rightfully so.

Yeppers! Sigh's the guy! It was my small attempt at honouring him by attempting to emulate his sonneteering daily offerings.

~ It is beyond my comprehension that he has literally written thousands of them! ~ and each one is a pearl of wisdom and beauty ~ with delightful humour thrown in for good measure!

Warm hugs to you all ~ and especially to Mr. T.!

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

In a poem of one
My poems outdone
One genuflect uncommon bow
It's all my age will allow

Oh, Mr. T., you're not outdone,
For you're forever number one.

Your sonnets sing each blessed day,
In to our hearts with sunny ray.

To you I bow with great respect,
In fact you merit genuflect!

Gentle Spirit ~

His rhyme and metre are impeccable so it was a daunting task to emulate his writing!

Sunshine ~

It was a costume I enjoyed wearing! But I couldn't keep up with Sir Sigh and serve such sweet sonnets as he does on a daily basis!
