Severed Bindings (a Petrarchan Sonnet)

Folder: 
Sonnets

Entangled strings of innocence hold fast

to once beribboned, naive yesterdays,

when silver moonbeams bathed in purple haze

and starlight held enchantment in their cast.

Though tears may dim the moments from the past,

to kindling, melancholy tinder strays;

intrinsic trails to blaze from newborn rays

invoking joyful memories to last.



Horizons, rich with fallow earth, await

the severed bindings of retrospection,

thus granting the unlock of future's gate.

The birthing of a new season begun,

as beckoning adventures conjugate...

and sullen shadows fade beneath the sun.
