Transition (Sonnet #65)

O joy that bursts from deep within my soul,

And fills with peace that stills the raging sea.

E’en stumbling like an awkward, new-born foal,

I know this joy and peace were made for me.

For once emotions shrouded me with gloom,

A cloud that stifled life and turned me cold.

And often in my blackened midnight room,

I dreaded what my future life might hold.

Yet now perfection holds and shares my life,

And what I am is shaped by loving hands,

That shaping done without a slashing knife

That cuts with bitter words and reprimands.

Oh faithful swain, create my life anew,

And build a future that I’ll share with you.

Author notes

Most of my poetry is inspired by friends, their lives and often their problems. This one is no exception and I wasn't planning on writing it when I sat down to write. But, when the words began flowing, what was currently on my mind prevailed and this was the result.

    Weird, I was under the impression that I had both read and commented this poem.

    I guess not.

    So.
    Yes, go on, make fun of me because I took two days to realise this was about me. I don't care!

    Lol. Thanks, grandpapi. I know you're happy and you know I am, too. I'm just very glad I'm finally where I am. It's nice not to have to post a 4am in the morning rant. It's nice to wake up and know there'll be a hug waiting for me. It's very nice to know that I don't have to worry or feel insecure or any of that silly stuff.
    Had you strangled me like you wanted to those few times, LOL, I would have been where I am now WAY sooner.

    WOW, this is INCREDIBLE! It flowed so nicely and beautifully that I didn't want to stop reading. Very beautiful. You really have a way with words and I can never stop myself from being envious of your incredible mind. Fantastic job as always.

    Much MUCH love and
