Buckets full of blessings

Anointed this place because you made peace

A fearless family can now taste life.

Now walking this road of righteous release -

Evicted, we pray, is all that dark strife.

A sanctified spirit I pray, should dwell

Between these four walls, where angels empower

All children of heaven against all hell

The time of freedom, perfect for this hour.

On knees of fresh hope I see your faith grow

When wise words of love build bridges of grace

From where, like that tree, healing water flows

Feeding your souls for this heavenly race.

Your wildest dreams will be conquered that day

When you meet the Life, the Truth and the Way.

oh Sleepless ;) you hint the sonnet but it is not on it! :(... this is uplifting and bright for me to read .. making peace .. being sanctified ..(by a higher power) .. finding release .. all touch the heart of my prayers .. so well done .. the iambic and trochaic rhythms causes stumbling .. i didn't count them all .. but the 10 syllables per line and the rest of the form seem spot on .. i recently finished the process of the sonnet under the guidance of KL and Richard .. it was so frustrating .(i am a free man writer by nature ..having no education) .. it took forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreverrrrrrrrrrrrr .. but upon "finishing" ..so well worth the effort .. you do skate by not having named it a sonnet ... but i see you! ;) glad to read this new post opf your sir! love and peace!

Ahhh...Mr Einstein Sir, you make me blush. This was an odd sonnet. My internet connection was off-line and vented my frustration into poetry.....fortunately, I was visiting dear friends at the time, so this was an actual tribute to them, which I shared the following morning, and they appreciated it a lot....:)

Since my mostly not-so-sane ramblings over the past few months, I am actually studying English now, so instead of CNN and BBC, I now over-indulge on sonnets and Shakespeare.....:D....
