Pearls of Wisdom

SONNET:
Despairing tears shed in the dark - alone.
Hot, round and plump, cascading on cold cheek -
an avalanche for our sins to atone.
Recalling solutions we had to seek.
From every tear shed, grows pearls of wisdom.
An enquiring mind joining in the search.
To hardship we had become accustom'.
Grappling for answers just out of our reach.
We fight for the helm of destination,
over steering on our chosen pathway.
Loosing sight of intended direction,
forgetting to relinquish reigns and pray.
Chances to make a difference - expired
Peace in your heart - soul infinitely tired.

FREE STYLE:
From tears shed in the dark
grow pearls of wisdom -
round and plump,
cascading on cold cheeks.

Denying the broken dreams
of long forgotten youth.
Grappling with the guilt
felt over hard decisions made.

An enquiring mind searching
for the elusive truth -
only just out of reach.
Rejecting the answers at hand
and formulating excuses.

Your chance to make a difference
had long ago expired.
You reluctantly accept
the inevitable.
Peace within your heart.
