Light and Love

They say that love is grief, a silent starthat slows to stillness, dimming down to naught;to find another light, you&#8217;ll wander far.Embrace the freedom. You cannot be caughtin orbits e&#8217;er decaying. Break awayif doom is painted ominous above.Astrology aside, courage will swaythe universe. It takes a little shoveand heart to follow through. Love is no grief.Whatever others say, and tragic endsproliferate--hold fast to the beliefthat love is light. It&#8217;s human hearts that rend.We are not glass but flesh--and stitches hold.So heal--and seek the brighter skies. Be bold.<br/><br/>n.b.&#8212;thank you all for being patient with me. I know it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve paid any attention here. I&#8217;ve been focusing on the novel, but I hope to spend some time working on sonnets again. <3 <br/><br/>Get full access to Sonnets &c. at <a href="https://zjppoetry.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast">zjppoetry.substack.com/subscribe</a>
