Is life a journey to be reckoned with?
Or just a martyrdom attempt for naught?
Is truth unfortunately just a myth?
A vaporing idea mankind sought?
This off beat rhyme of time, it doesn't halt;
just buries us in deeper sinking sand.
Is it okay to trust what we've been taught,
or is truth just a shift of life's demand?
Are we just trapped with in time's ticking hands
and any exits found are just trapped doors?
Can truth be known or is it a lost strand,
in fading visions, mixed in metaphors?
Time won't wait while confusion slowly clears,
we must continue on and tremble in fear.

Hi I lost in this round of the contest, but one of my sonnets won silver in another round of the same contest, so I am happy.

Beautiful flow with rhythm and rhyme. Can truth be known or is it a lost strand, in fading visions mixed in metaphors?...I love those lines. The whole piece speaks volumes from your heart and mind, and shows how in-depth your thought processes are..it's easy to trust and understand what we can see with our own eyes, but a tad harder when it's nothing we can see

I love the part about burying us in deeper sinking sand. That's so true! Time will not ever stop, just keeps going and going. I really liked this, Duana. It just all goes together so well! How did you get so good?

Thank this contest holder for giving us an opportunity to get disciplined, and to really concentrate at learning. I find form poetry challenging, and engaing, and I wish all of life could be a challenge that I also enjoy. It would make getting through every day easier! Too bad I wasn't good enough to write poetry for a living!
