Exceptional Sonnet Natural Light : A Lady's Portrait by estory

If I painted the beauty of your face, I would paint you in early morning light, Playing your guitar, dreaming something new, Like the flowers opening in the spring; Something like a mother's careful embrace Wrapping the dreams of children through the night, Until dawn breaks softly the midnight blue, And sunlight illuminates everything; Flowers they picked from your green, garden space, Music filling the air for our delight, Like a bird that found its wings and flew In a moment of joy and blessed grace Where even strangers can find their respite, Feeling their hearts washed clean as morning dew. Author Notes This celtic rose sonnet has an interlocking rhyme scheme of abcd abcd abc abc, and is in a little more opened up meter than strict iambic to give it a more natural, conversational tone, much like some of Yeats' sonnets. This poem is dedicated to an old friend and musician, Patience Connor. estory
