Sonnet

Sonnet

Shall I compare thy to a great full moon
who's light shines bright even in the darkest place.
Jealous stars dance to your marvelous tune
you illuminate my world with such grace.
Regardless of where, you love to beam clear
your reflection glistens on the river
you are so far away yet you seem so near.
But when clouds rule the sky you become hidden.
Dark my world becomes when you are absent
To the clouds in the sky you are forbidden
However my thoughts are about you constant
You guide me when no one else seems to care
and lead my path when no one else is there.
