My Sonnet


The soft, gentle wind whispers to my soul.
Rain surrounds me, causing me to shiver.
Pounding on my thoughts, leaving my heart cold.
It forces me to always remember.

I open my tired eyes to see darkness.
I close them again to escape the night,
but realize I see the same blackness.
It was years ago that I lost my sight.

In my life I lost solid direction.
The right answers I can no longer find.
The tears slowly fall without intention.
It's the only way I can speak my mind.

To forgive does not mean one can forget,
because painful reminders cause regret.
