My foresight and reality are one, I cannot divide them in two, you see; They help me as I look toward the sun, Foresight, reality and I are three. My heart tells me no, look back to the past, I calm my heart with tenderness and care, And say there is a future unsurpassed, If we but reach for it, it will be there. This inner struggle has cost us a lot, The pursuit of the beyond scares us both, Still, it's not too late a dream to be sought, A paltry weed needs the sun for its growth. We wake up and look for the morning light, From it we ascend to infinite heights. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Love the hopeful message here, it goes to show we can and will endure. Fine writing, a sonnet is so out of my league. Kudos, JP~ |

Thanks Blue. Sonnets are out of my league also, I'm surely no Shakespeare, but I like to write them anyway. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Very nice read, Jerry... such truths, said in refreshing rhyme and introspection... I respect your use of the sonnet, it`s a beautiful form and you`ve handled it so well, not constrained at all... tip -o-the- hat to ye...  My best to you~ Amaryllis |

Thank you, Amaryllis, for the tip of the hat. When I first began writing poetry I had no idea what I was about and there are some horrible ones from that time. Don't know why I bother to keep them, except that I wrote them. I love the sonnet. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! [This message has been edited by JerryPat (11-21-2010 11:07 PM).] |

Struggles and battles, angels and demons within. We all much fight and hopefully win. Fine message here, Jerry.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |
