Peripheral Happiness (Sonnet)

Full embrace of the hilly scenic view,

I feel a cycle of living.

The dwindling leaves paint pictures of you,

They spirally fall, slowly giving...

 

Themselves to the Earth’s art,

Like a subtle breeze, they will rise again.

For the Autumn leaves reflect their bark -

With an eventual inward ascend.

 

Full embrace of the halo shine - on the vine,

With all the things that could’ve been done.

A Pupil of Hope, an Iris of Life; they forget the time,

Descending under the sun.

 

I think I’m sick of searching for bliss, I’d prefer to live in the now

Yet with every mournful gale, the leaves fall and rise somehow.
