Sunray

Fear not long for this world am I,
With no shining light to go by,
No compass now to steer my way,
Retreat the sun it's golden day,
Grim realities and harsh truths,
Unknown these are to sanguine youths,
For life without glory, Nay honor,
Life where, scarce I look upon her,
When hope becomes a fleeting fae,
No longer mine she is this day,
The light she gives beyond compare,
Hopes light no longer falls on my hair,
And voyage on I guess I must,
But fear my ship has taken rust,
Sinking alone whilst out to sea,
Without my hope to rescue me,
Mastery here before I've been,
And not alone this ship I'm in,
Naturally surely one could say,
When so many people felt this way,
And further now to my dismay,
A growing sense of comfort lay,
Upon my heart and in my mind,
When I encounter thoughts unkind,
Not comfort nay perhaps repose,
When my thoughts drift unto my woes,
With stillness now a solemn want,
For death it seems I must confront,
Nay,
Feel valiantly I must go on,
Deaths time it seems not forgone,
And wherein lies my troubles source,
Perhaps simply upon my course,
Rejoice for this we all can alter,
If in mind we do not faulter,
Go out you now to sieze the day,
And take upon thee hopes

I see a drop of tear coming out from your eye as you wrote this, feel like catch that drop and wipe it off and hug you and kiss on your eyes. Feel the same hope as you mentioned in last lines, can’t believe that there is one for me who loves me so deep, I see there is God who really cares for those who love that much and unite them together, waiting for that moment❤️.

when is read the title i thought .. oh! great! an optimistic poem .. then my heart withered and drooped .. he's alone .. as his ship rusts out .. she's gone :((((((((((((((( i was thinking of the irony of your title until your closing .. yes! seize the day .. make glad your heart! adventures lay before us ;))))))))))))))

It's funny because I consciously made an effort to end on a positive note. Too much dread weighs on the spirt Jon the Baptist told me so anyway!

I've said this of another poem. Beautifully Shakespearean. Wonderful words in the tradition of the old Masters. You show skill and promise. Beautifully done.
