Sonnet 5: Why doth I love the silence of the night sky?

Why doth I love the silence of the night sky

The heavenly distance of the dawn

the abode into which my essence dreams to fly

The depth of eve mysteriously withdrawn.

The burning brightness of the full moon,

The hues that damp thunderhead bears

For what my heart hath seekth the starry boon

Night hath her dreams and the forsaken heart its tears.

Reticence and longing seekth astral rest 

The heaven where the frost lies all that froze

On inaccessible cloud's footless crest

Lies all the peaceful glow,the warm repose.

The seeking spirit gasps, the faint star hears

And deep as thy deep eyes the aurora appears.

Amazing. I love your imagery. The first paragraph and the last two stanzas were my favorites!! ^_^ Nicely done. Good luck on exams! :)

i think this poem is wonderful and i love the substance of the write, but i feel it isn't necessary or conducive to this write to use the very few shakespearian words you have instilled herein...especially in the title. this is not a sonnet and has it's own life and presence without tyring to dress it up as such...try it without billy shakes and i think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how it sounds read out loud.

wonderful longing yet still patience for the coming morn, the new day...seems to be an ongoing collective feeling here amongst the writers and in the world at hand...waxing philo

"The loving embrace of infinite solitude" are the words that come to my mind as I read this. It reminds me of where I was last winter; Alone in the country on the edge of the wilderness with the haunting howls of Coyote to enhance the beauty of solitude. To me the sound of Coyote would be like the site of Aurora to you. A beautiful poem Balkaran, thanks for sharing it.

[Balkaran Sidhu]

thank you very much william...ur pretty much right with your opinion about sound of coyote and the site of aurora.. :)
