Sonnet - Viii (O Carry Me Above This Plaintive Earth) Poem by Valerie Dohren
Sonnet - Viii (O Carry Me Above This Plaintive Earth)
O carry me above this plaintive earth
Where'er there be a sweeter dwelling place
To touch the distant harbour of my birth
As fixed beyond all mortal reach of space
Across the boundless oceans of all time
Above creation''s full encircling spheres
Far upwards shall I ever seek to climb
Transported thus away from worldly fears
Yet still I tarry ‘neath the sapphire skies
In earthly shackles theretofore entwined
With yearning for such freedom in these eyes
As in the world this soul be yet confined
….. Above, beyond, my heart does so desire
….. To fly, to fly in splendour, ever higher
Yet still I tarry ‘neath the sapphire skies In earthly shackles theretofore entwined With yearning for such freedom in these eyes As in the world this soul be yet confined So much richness that reading every word on every line is like crystal wine. You have a true gift
A fabulous poem- - - The lines To fly, to fly in splendour, even higher- are wondrous lines which captivate the heart !
.. a wonderful write.. a great journey that would be for sure...
Be it theist musings or just a spirit set free, what a splendid universe for a mind set free, to explore and never expire as upward ever upward by its own desire. Thank you for a fine write.
Delicate, ethereal, mystical and beautiful. Love your sonnets. You take poetry to a higher level. From whence cometh all these precious thoughts?
Wistful and yearning like the myth of Clytie and sunflower... symbolically applied to us mortals...beautiful sonnet! ! !
Soar higher and higher, though in earthly shackles entwined! ! The antagonism of life is beautifully brought out- a soul longing the vastness of the sky, yet fettered! !
