Limited Liberty

Sonnet in tetrameter

 

Limited Liberty.

 

The sun reflects from whitewashed walls.

At noontime when the sun is high.

Though later when the twilight falls

He moon will rise to rule the skies.

The blazing sun, his duty done

Has sunk beneath the western sea.

The stars appear one by one.

They add an air of mystery.

The softer light Selina casts

Allows the shadows out to play.

Although their freedom only lasts

Until the birth of a new day.

The sun will rise in majesty

 to end the shadows liberty.
