Do Not Walk In Shadows and Fearful Dreams

Do Not Walk In Shadows And Fearful Dreams Shall we in ignorance, fight ocean tides fling our weak, errant arrows at stone walls Worship earth's bounty and all it provides admire and appreciate Nature's calls Rise up, to improve on our feeble thought walk well lit paths to find their great treasures Such sweet Light, blessed truth can not be bought by seeking only our selfish pleasures Nay, friend! Set thy sight to lofty, high plains welcome challenge of walking harder trails Fear not, huge racing floods from massive rains many have triumphed after epic fails Do not walk in shadows and fearful dreams Seek ye, to wade in Nature's clearest streams Robert J. Lindley, 4-01-2017 Sonnet

I Loved this poem that asked men to step away from their selfish wants and embark on challenging courses in "Nature's clearest streams". Beautifully done:) Amitiés

Good Morning Robert. The expression and execution are in traditional poetic form. I enjoyed that aspect for you have the poetic wand in your hands and mind. Just the title alone Robert is marvelous which tells the reader he is in for a soulful journey. We readers thank you for sharing your talent. Well done entirely.
