Pruning And Dusting The Cobwebs of The Soul, To Grant You Love. A Sonnet
To all those who seek encouragement and inspiration, while struggling with the vicissitudes of life
Come bury your sorrow.
The sun will shine again at another dawn,
And the nightingale gladden your Heart with its music.
New beginnings will spring forth from the birth of spring,
As the petunias blossom with delight.
True, you are in pain and your tears
Reach out to the ether, like sullen rain.
Mortals will try to console you,
But will not be able to comprehend your despair.
Only the Spirit can, and its mystic ways,
Dances with an effulgent beam, burning a lighted pathway,
Like the moon, deep within your aching Heart.
Ever embracing your sweet beauty,
It prunes and dusts the cobwebs of the Soul, to grant you Love.

My real niche is mystical; esoteric or ethereal poetry. And inner experience and longing are my greatest strengths. This is a feel-good type of mystical poem.

I like that you began with the promise of a new dawn. You've weaved some awesome truths into these beautiful words.
A "float away into bliss" work of art. Thank you.
He he. Well, you are a Master, Cam. I'm learning from you. (chuckle) Seriously, I thank you for your sincere appreciation of my Hub. Yes, we esoteric poets love the dawn. Indeed we love promise, and like the paramour waiting for his elegant sweetheart, we get joy in the hope of things to come. Much Love.
Eric, again another wonderful comment. Thank you so much, my Friend!
Beautiful, inspiring and refreshing like a morning walk during summer.

Or during spring or in Richmond Park and since you may not know it, then let's say At Poon Hill in Arnapurna, Nepal. Absolutely stunning!
"What this world needs now is love, sweet love.....it's the only thing that there's just, too little of." Thank you Dusty Springfield and thank you, Manatita. Beautiful!
When everything else fails, prune the roses and clean house. I love to do both and I love your sonnet! Beautiful!
Thank you Bill and yes, Dusty Springfield too. How noble! Love indeed!!
Ruby, yes, We need, like you, to prune the roses; prune the garden of the Soul....clean the house-temple, Ha ha. Thank you for a great comment.
Maintaining our earthly flesh is extremely difficult, thus lies the beauty of the spirit. Peaceful and affirming write Manatita.
