Sonnet 15 – All Things New




Sonnet 15 – All Things New

All the world's a stage; and all the men and women are merely players.

In awe of all things new

There is but one single moment of perfection,

On the turning away, all the world is only a stage

That great energy and stars cast unseen influence and direct life’s grand time line:

Notice how man grows in likeness to foliage.

Applauded, blessed, cultivated and nurtured by great heavenly sky’s wizardry.

Alive in youthful splendor; bewilderment following one’s prime,

Memories fade to Grey;

Selfishness falls victim to life’s inevitable end

I envision your beautiful glow in constant sight

Untouchable to father time’s cosmic hand,

Who shall inevitably change your brilliance of youth to endless night.

I love you; and by such love declare war on time’s deafening silence,

And as his grasp takes you ever more; I bring into the wild life anew.

adaptation of w. shakespeare sonnet 15
