Sometimes It Feels As If I Will Never Find You (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)

Sometimes it feels as if I will never find you
when the morning gleams bloody red
as if that which is between us does blow away like leaves in the wind
but still you do remain climbing back into my heart
although the sun sometimes burns merciless,
where I see it cloudless sometimes steel-blue,
you constantly take my hand when I fall in life,
when the future unfolds inescapable by destiny
and day after day we follow the sun's triumph
where every morning just brings new vistas,
where yesterday and that which we still could
does fall away and new things do jump into our lives
but you do constantly remain my new hope,
the one to whom I walk day after day.
