Meredith L. Patterson / Text 4 of 4 / Sonnet: On the Turning Point
"Sonnet: On the Turning Point" by Meredith L. Patterson
SciFi/Fantasy text 4 out of 4 by Meredith L. Patterson. ←Previous - Next→
| Aimee Major did a marvellous Beauty and the Beast picture entitled 'Refuge'. (It isn't in her gallery any more, but you can still see some other renditions of the characters.) It inspired this poem, a bit mushier than what I usually write ... |
   |
It was intended only to reflect
The brilliance that you brought into my realm;
A foolish Beast I am not to expect
That I would miss some fatal flaw. My vain
Desire was that this gift might overwhelm
Your wish to leave this place. But if the light
Reminds you overmuch of home, then let
That be a lesson to me. Make your flight
If 'tis your will.
But let me feel the calm
Within this Refuge for a moment yet;
If you let go, remain forever free,
And I shall be content not to forget
That for one moment you were here with me.
