My Sparkle

Sonnet

Quite suddenly, a twink'ling light appears;

perhaps, 'twas destined or mere happenstance.

Amazed, warmth's radiant glow slowly nears …

life's providence re-shapes my circumstance.

Embraced, love cradles this bedeviled soul

in blissful credence; peacefully, I rest.

Illuminating broken pieces whole,

upon a wonderlust, star-laden, quest.

What karma gifted now reflects within;

laced silhouette, with silken threads of gold.

Surrounding whosoever looks therein …

surreal, inspiring beauty ~ brave and bold.

Stars falling, fade upon first breath of day,

through grateful hands, my sparkle ~ slips away.

Your sparkle will never slip away. It will transform from one energy source into another. Perhaps, you will light up the whole universe.

Another wonderful sonnet of yours dear Susan.
I was swept away with your words.
And love the image you chose.
Just realized that I already read and reviewed your sonnet awhile back.
Wonderful to reread a year later!

Beautiful!! Please correct me if I'm wrong but I felt like you were writing about death. Silken threads of gold are in a death shroud. You're grateful for life as it slips away. You rest in blissful peace. If that is your subject I feel like this is the most beautiful poem I've read about death. Veiled opaque song about sudden demise yet acceptance welcomes the inevitable. Most excellent!

Hi Bill, well interpretation can differ from person to person based on how they feel the poetry reads. Death was not my intention here. This is a poem of gratitude in a way...
Quite suddenly, a twink'ling light appears;
( a chance meeting)
perhaps, 'twas destined or mere happenstance.
( question being asked, as to why or how)
Amazed, warmth's radiant glow slowly nears …
( this reflects another's warmth)
life's providence re-shapes my circumstance.
( people come into our lives for a reason)


Embraced, love cradles this bedeviled soul
( kindness shown to struggling soul)
in blissful credence; peacefully, I rest.
( sweet comforting peace)
Illuminating broken pieces whole,

upon a wonderlust, star-laden, quest.
( what dreams are made of..)


What karma gifted now reflects within;
( when a soul heals...it radiates from within)
laced silhouette, with silken threads of gold. .. ( a stretch here...but meaning/ feelings of completeness/ happiness/...gold or golden)

Surrounding whosoever looks therein …
( love given radiates outwardly)
surreal, inspiring beauty ~ brave and bold.
( this is saying...in a way how a person feels when accepted)


Stars falling, fade upon first breath of day,

through grateful hands, my sparkle ~ slips away. ( once healed... a "soul" moves on or away from past hurts...forever changed for the better) Hope that helps!! Thanks for reading :-)

That's one of the cool things about poetry. We veil our subject and if it means more to someone, all the better. But I do appreciate how you illustrated your meanings. Really is a beautiful poem.

This was a magical, sparkly poem. It was absolutely dazzling and beautifully written. You wrote so well and passionately here and each word you used really emphasized the ‘sparkle’ and showed what you were all about. Judging by your writing you seem to be the kind of person who lights up the room. ‘Stars falling, fade upon first breath day.’ That’s definitely my favorite line. Sparkling and wonderful, thank you for sharing. (:

[Susan]
