Fear of Grey
by Laryalee Fraser (Age: 68)
copyright 08-09-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
What if the essence that burns in my eyes
should succumb to the greyness where vacancy lies?
Will I cling to the fog and depart on its flight
to the ominous arms of an onrushing night?

What if my carpet of meaning should slip
and I can't find the thought that would steady my grip?
Will the warp of my reason unthread from its weft
until only the strands of my shredding are left?

What if my memories lose their array
and the curds of their substance leave only the whey?
Will the faces I love slowly ebb from my glance?
Will I know that I'm not keeping step with the dance?

How I dread the encroachment of death-on-a-crawl
and a twilight where echoes have nowhere to fall.

I can relate to this one. I loved the last two lines the best .

Another excellent poem by you. Who know what it will be like when old age finnaly takes over?
I think it depends on what we have to look forward to, what dreams we still have to fullfil.
? Who knows, we can only wonder and wait and see.

Lary,

A sonnet! Admittedly, the meter and rhyme schemes are slightly different than traditional Shakespearean sonnets, but it still reads similarly. The format is identical with three quatrains and a two-line ending.

You amaze me with your virtuosity. Very nice...
