Sonnet on Love Renewed (revised)

Classic theme; love lost, love found.

Sleep is over now, but still I will dream

Of all of our long gone and ancient days.

Night after night, oh why does nothing seem

To not remind me of our quaint old ways?

Gone is all the time that we spent alone,

Love that has just seemed to simply vanish.

All our yesterdays cannot be unknown.

Lives that hurt can do nothing but banish

The great fear of having to love again.

Oh but wait, here comes another lover,

Can they bring me the beautiful quaint Zen

Of a life I have yet to uncover?

A brighter tomorrow with my new love,

Beauty that can rise to the skies above.

"Can they bring me the beautiful quaint Zen
Of a life I have yet to uncover?
A brighter tomorrow with my new love,
Beauty that can rise to the skies above."

Beautiful lines. A message that many will relate to. This poem is filled with so much emotion, not only read but felt, and that is the true beauty of this amazing piece. Great job!

I love the last 3 lines....
Of a life I have yet to uncover?
A brighter tomorrow with my new love,
Beauty that can rise to the skies above.

Blissful and beautiful. The message is as old as time but never makes it easier. No complaints here. Look forward to reading more.
