Unknown Future Sonnet.

Goldfinch60



I look from the bridge over Our River,

The water so high we can’t walk by it,

It makes my heart and soul all aquiver

Being unable to stroll beside it.

 

It has been such a saviour in my life,

Walking beside it to eternity,

Where I used to walk with my loving wife

Who has moved on to that place before me.

 

We used to walk beside the flowing stream

As I do now with Mary at my side

And Joyce looking down becoming a dream

Where we will all meet at Our Rivers side.

 

Eternity brings us all together,

To travel into our unknown future.

        This brought to mind that old gospel song "Shall we gather at the river" A beautiful sentiment Andy

        • Goldfinch60

          Thank you soren, we will gather at the river at the end of our time on earth and move on into eternity. Thank you.

            Ya, thanks to aka Soren Barrett now the melody is circling through my noggin as he excellently noted your sonnet dredges that old beauty to the fore. Beautifully rendered to effect with a subtly strengthening poignancy, how you took me in a blink from vicarious strolling in grand old England to the more distant realms we're all walking. Thank you so very much for sharing.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Missy, we will all meet in those distant realms.

                  Much appreciated Tom, thank you.
