A crone's sonnet

Once long ago I drowned myself in tears

I lost my love, it broke my heart – I cried,

I got confronted with my deepest fears,

and worse, it was as if my true joy died.

My darkest days, so endless and forlorn,

then lead me to a deeper place to see

the real heart loss that I had still to mourn:

the one who let me down the most was me.

A pledge I made, to keep on ev’ry day:

I love and trust myself to be and speak,

so words no matter wild or wise I’ll say

to open heart connections that I seek.

Such love profound brings joy right back to shine,

and sparks and twinkles of a grace divine.
