A Sonnet For A Good Friend

May 6, 2024 by SUMMER LOTUS 3 Comments

6th May 2024. 1 min read (Power of Poetry)

What makes one adored?

Everyone wants to know

A trait you can’t ignore

Is that with whom one feels the flow

Share the joy, share the woes

Life’s stories are infinite

Especially when one is in the throes

Best stories shared are not intimate

Instead, common problems faced in life

That plague everyone each day

Just flex your mental muscles as you strive

No solutions will be kept at bay.

Share with one who is patient and understands

Share with one who listens and makes sense

    Thks, Rosalind, now I know you are fine, by the grit and courage you possess. Bouncing back from an episode of restlessness and exhaustion experienced by you last nite, when you appeared to be baffled by some low feelings emitting from your heart, which your mind cannot understand, as Blaise Pascal testified..
    Indeed this is a beautiful poem spontaneously sprung forth from the depth of your heart, so genuine and touching , and in addition to haiku and senryu, now you have SONNET. Truly, you are gifted and blessed as joys and peace fill your heart ❤️ again.
