ROMANCE Poem: Sonnet, by Yonas Campbell

I sit beside the brook upon the bank,
and laugh away my time in counts of three.
Looking up, I speak a prayer to thank
Our Heaven’s light for looking after me.
My eyes return now to the riverside;
I gaze upon the water flowing through.
Eternity and now are all I find
To fill this lonely heart, which thinks of you.
Five years have past upon this fatal life,
Reminding me of what we once did share.
An ecstasy of neverending strife
was ours alone: to fight is still to care.
But now ‘tis clear that this is mine to know:
To new love I will dance and let you go.
