SONNET

“Untitled” by Sydney DellaRatta

Nature surrounds me like a lullaby

Whispering in my ears and singing songs

When I’m out alone I feel I can fly

But I know that time alone can’t be long

Sometimes I sit and wonder about things

On a hill, or near a tree full of life

While the sound of perfect chiming bells ring

Ridding you of all of your pain and strife

                                                   

Sitting in the forest with none but you

In the unmasked silence that blankets land

I know that I can only be so true

To reach out and give this nature my hand 

When the bright sun goes down, just as it meant,

End the day with a feeling of content
