30 January 2012 - Flight - sonnet

Piano chords will rise and reach the sky,

the well of violins dares soothe the tears;

there’s winds I’ve passed and brought about to cry,

are nothing stopping melodies of fear.

Too far away to reach my touch, he’s gone––

there’s empty time before me, in my hand;

and though I’d not begrudge him sons of dawn,

I find I miss him just because I can.

I feel the seasons follow where I lead,

biographies that show I’m looking back;

the more I lose the more I know I need

the more I realize just what I lack.

In flight there’s only air beneath your wings

we wait for what the new horizons bring.
