On Dark Dying Sunless Beams I Went To Wait
On Dark Dying Sunless Beams I Went To Wait
Destined to be valor was a granite block
World had no idea what lay ahead;
Intuition was dreamed, I lay in bed,
Even to this soul, my power became a shock!
Yet you my darling in your blinding light
Why on weeping earth did you race to leave?
Gifting dire lonesome sifted through a seeve
As your comet fled into dark of crying night.
In your lost paradise you call my name
But I vanished away into a galactic herd
You then fell like a perishing little redbird
And sad truth was nobody won that sick game.
On dark dying sunless beams I went to wait.
While you lived sad, eating only your deep hate.
Robert J. Lindley, sonnet
Jan 5th 1976
