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.

Holy Water

In response to bwarren’s
Sunday Word Wordle #659

Holy Water

Clear holy water
languid and cold
Touched to a babes head
to keep the shadows away

Birds cross through
a silver cloud
a hallowed opening
to spark hope to all within

The magic of the moment
the tightly woven love
The sweet sound of bird song
rings that truth will come again
