(A Sonnet from the Archives) Night's pallid hush ascends with gentle Grace. Nocturnal fauna nestles back in ground. Precursive solar tendrils peer around Through tatted eyelets in morn's tree-top lace. Faint blushing tiers of pink and crimson hue Unfold soft wisps of streaming cirrus cloud. The meadow's haze of gossamer a shroud, As crystal sheaths submit to glist'ning dew And cautious sunbeams flicker on the rise. Clenched petals stretch to welcome dawning's rays, A valiant beacon bursts forth in full blaze. The Morning Star now masked by azure skies - 'Til breath of life, that brief eternity God's sacred Realm embraces only me.  ------------------ Nay, if our wits run the Wild-Goose chase, I am done: For thou hast more of the Wild-Goose in one of thy wits, Than I am sure I have in my whole five. ~ ²1592 Wm. Shakespeare ~ Romeo & Juliet ~ ii. iv. 75 |

I'm simply awestruck. This may be the first sonnet I read through entirely. Not only that, I read it twice. Fist time I got past the structure and was pleasantly greeted with fabulous imagery. You are not the queen of poetry for nothing, Nanibabe. Positively wonderful. ------------------ Dum spiro, spero JP |

Your light showers us in brilliant hues. Without you, darkness would befall and lost we would be. Thank you for your guidance. |
