It's been so long since I've written any kind of sonnet I'm afraid my sonnet quill is quite dusty but here goes....



A Need Commanded
(English sonnet)

In quiet times of thought and reflection
When I tally what life has brought to me
I count blessings within dreams' protection
And truths that color fate, my destiny.
That I survived and knew of comfort's skin,
A miracle indeed, it should be known,
For cruelties and realities' sin
Have shadowed my footsteps, but I have grown
To understand there lives inside my soul
A resiliency that demands its due,
A strength that builds when trouble's taken toll
And time has tripped upon its ordered queue.
It seems not to be a matter of choice
But a need commanded in future's voice.

...strength found in life's blessings...fortitude in this pen...your life in continuance. A well written sonnet...not dusty...but of fine patina found in ones future.
