My Sonnet

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.
