Be it theist musings or just a spirit set free, what a splendid universe for a mind set free, to explore and never expire as upward ever upward by its own desire. Thank you for a fine write.
Delicate, ethereal, mystical and beautiful. Love your sonnets. You take poetry to a higher level. From whence cometh all these precious thoughts?
Wistful and yearning like the myth of Clytie and sunflower... symbolically applied to us mortals...beautiful sonnet! ! !
Soar higher and higher, though in earthly shackles entwined! ! The antagonism of life is beautifully brought out- a soul longing the vastness of the sky, yet fettered! !
A fabulous poem- - - The lines To fly, to fly in splendour, even higher- are wondrous lines which captivate the heart !
Yet still I tarry ‘neath the sapphire skies In earthly shackles theretofore entwined With yearning for such freedom in these eyes As in the world this soul be yet confined So much richness that reading every word on every line is like crystal wine. You have a true gift
