Treasured and True ~ A Kyrielle Sonnet--By Colleen Keller Breuning--United States

Treasured and True ~ A Kyrielle Sonnet

My fingers grasp to hold on tight
Clouds descending in pink twilight
Like fine grains of sand passing through
Moments like these, treasured and true.

Night comes on bearing shades of gray
I watch the colors fade away
Reflecting in the sea so blue
Moments like these, treasured and true.

Sweet mockingbird, sing me to sleep
And push my sorrows way down deep
Sustain memories, start anew
Moments like these, treasured and true.

My fingers grasp to hold on tight
Moments like these, treasured and true.

  1. Colleen takes a darkened path, but always comes up smelling roses.
    I am so fortunate, I get to read her poetry on a regular basis.
    She posts revelations in rhyme, on a weekly basis, then settles into repose;
    Never missing the mark, whether light or dark, always stellar... like this.
