When hope has turned her lovely gaze – a sonnet

lovers kiss in the rain

When hope has turned her lovely gaze

t’ward soft’ning night and bright’ning days,

then eye of light upon me stays,

revealing what love lifted.

* * *

Like still night air we find our voice,

intoned and waiting to rejoice

where darkness once denied this choice;

we find what love has sifted.

* * *

As hands, rejoined, now find their place

to touch a lover’s loving face

returned in heaven’s sweet embrace,

to learn how God has gifted.

* * *

Hope has promised paradise.

Promised grace, new love enticed.

  1. I love this, Robert. I have not seen your other two, but this is really beautiful. Amazing, in my opinion. What a rich work of poetry. Thank you for writing it and sharing. It’s a lovely way to end my day.
