Gypsie’s Wonderful World of Words

Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.

In response to What do you see # 188 – May 29, 2023 hosted by Sadje

Walk away never look back
what came before
reflects what you lacked

Your light shines bright
without friend or foe
go strong into the dark night

Fear not what you have lost
mourn for nothing gained
left behind in the frost

The road ahead barren and still
only pain to be found
behind that last hill

Walk on without looking back
preserve self love and strong will
form your own private wolf-pack
