Like Sonnets Dripping From the Sky





Sometimes upon the bluesy blur
Of day bending with twilight’s sigh
It seems I hear a sort of whisper
Dripping from the deep'ning sky

Window-scapes fade to nothingness
And so time’s new day disappears
Into Bygone's big emptiness
Of Now spun into after-years

And I am torn; love-worn, the art
Of hunger and fulfillment vie
To touch the part that stirs the heart
With sonnets slipping from the sky

      (Sorry for my absence but between baby-sitting and the internet not working it's been challenging to keep up!)
