A Sonnet

Missing you

 

I thought of you today and then I wondered
Could it be that you are thinking of me too
I thought of you again and then I wondered
Do you love me half as much as I love you
A love like ours so true and pure that only God could grow
Like the stars in heaven bright
Shine for the world to know
For those to see who are not like we the beacon in the night
So if I could fly on silver wings beside you I would stay
And we would watch the sun awake
And night arrest the day

To hear your voice to see your smile is heavenly to me
And in this world so deep and wide you're where I want to be

 

I found it very difficult to write this sonnet, the volta came to me first which may be the reason it didn’t flow easily, I found it was difficult to keep the rhythm. The style of writing forced my hand in the direction the poem took.  I was influenced by the fact that my husband is gone on a trip for a few weeks.   We have always a wonderful relationship that we are thankful for, and the fact that I miss him was the inspiration for this sonnet.
