Miltonian Sonnet

To View A Brighter Day

by Sugarray77

Whenever melancholy covers me
   in blankets that seem pasted to my skin,
   reverberations echo deep within,
I often seek a wise man's company,
commiserating over cups of tea.
   The Psalmist who no longer hears the din
   communicating with his silent pen,
restores a sense of peaceful harmony.
And as I think on truths that he conveys
   and know he's walked the road that I've been down,
     I know I'll find a way to overturn
     this heaviness that can so often churn.
   My hope flares high erasing my deep frown,
as eyes look up to view a brighter day.
