Avalon for M' lady Poppy

sonnet in tetrameter

 

Avalon. 2010

 

The sun is setting in the west

 above the island of the blest.

The island in the western sea

where heroes live eternally.

They can enjoy their well earned peace

 amongst the sacred apple trees

The day time skies are always blue

but evening brings a different hue.

The sky above glows roseate,

the colours fade as it grows late

Though high above this sacred isle

 the colours linger for a while.

This is the place I long to be.

The jewel of the western sea.

As I move toward the end of my life this is an image that I love both in thought and in spirit. You have caught a type of wonder that we all live at one time or another. It reads easy yet leaves a telling thought that lingers for many hours if not days and weeks. Well done my friend,
