Third Progression: His Love Drenched Waltz (A Sonnet)
by Biz Gainey

No longer dance we naked
In hallowed loved soaked hall.
Dreams once dreamt now hated,
Cries our laughter, one and all.

Flailing wildly swamped about,
Fear gripped knuckles smudge life’s veil.
Scarred hands grip true, wild hearts bleed out,
Hollowed death singsongs his nail.

Yes! Incarnate tombsong truth burst forth,
Caroled the birth of dawn’s new day.
Humble love robed arights all wrong;
Invited! we dance his love drenched waltz,
                He pardons life’s long decay.

Alive beats fresh love! Heart assault;
Loosens the grip of listless life.
Invited! we dance His love drenched waltz;
Hallowed life singsongs eternal hope,
                Sired deep in darkest strife.

How the death and pain of listless life
His love drenched waltz assaults.

How the death and pain of listless life
His love drenched waltz assaults.
