A single translucent pearl,
drifts down a wizened cheek,
from eyes where dreams still swirl.
In a body weak with age,
The mind paces it's cage.
As memories still speak,
a single translucent pearl,
drifts down a wizened cheek.
The bloom of youth long gone,
yet remembered is its song.
From eyes where dreams still swirl,
as memories still speak.
A single translucent pearl,
drifts down a wizened cheek.
drifts down a wizened cheek,
from eyes where dreams still swirl.
In a body weak with age,
The mind paces it's cage.
As memories still speak,
a single translucent pearl,
drifts down a wizened cheek.
The bloom of youth long gone,
yet remembered is its song.
From eyes where dreams still swirl,
as memories still speak.
A single translucent pearl,
drifts down a wizened cheek.
This is written in a form called a Sonnetina. The rhyme scheme and refrain lines are very exacting.
