Occasional Poetry - 55. Two November Sonnets
em>Two sonnets, written in grey times, posted in a grey month. All the errors contained there in are mine.
Last Exhibit
Foregathered here around a silent flame
a lonely taper lights the crowded room,
that chamber where nobility once came
to sport or dance, dispelling winter's gloom.
Let deep and meditative quiet fall
in contemplation that your hands are still,
and travel now beyond the farthest wall,
and we have not your wisdom or your skill.
But as an inner spirit guides, some rise
to speak your care, or love, or counsel kind;
a tapestry of life before our eyes
unfolds, a masterpiece revealed, and signed
in courage, which your quiet won't disguise;
it bears the lasting imprint of your mind.
Melody
Now sing an old forgotten song today,
a tune of faded, grey, abandoned dreams,
those lands of long ago and far away,
where everything is possible, it seems.
I bid you raise your voice in music, all,
that we might celebrate the love we shared
before another master held us thrall
to chemistry and therapy unspared.
Such melancholy airs have strength to wake
the embers of a heart grown dark and cold,
and blaze anew with fervor none can slake
nor douse until the sun is tired and old.
So every note of every hymn imbue
the starry heav'ns with all my love for you.
