A great sonnet, the consequences of our actions will always catch up on us. Wherever you hide or run it will follow and find you every time.

What a deeply sad sentiment with a glimpse of hope at the end. The poem captures the emotional trial and grief of a past indiscretion and the terrible weight that cannot be born alone.

Hello author, a heartfelt poem of the pain of un-forgiveness and the quest of redemption. Of special note:

My brokenness released into the light.
On wings, of His forgiveness I'll take flight.

(The power and hope of faith)

Well said and written. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck.

Hi, Oh, such a sad narrative message in your poem. I particularly like:
'As tears flow down across this wrinkled face
Compassion passes by without a trace.'
With best wishes, Writeling

This is a good poem. It rhymes well and describes the message of regret and waiting for some type of forgiveness having hope until the last breath.
Just a comment on this line -

I'm lost upon (on) this deep and brackish sea

- there is no need to mention 'on' like you have because you have used the word 'upon' before it.

Thank you for sharing this enjoyable read ~ DD

    Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review. Thank you too for finding my "extra" word. I quickly removed it. It corrected my word count as well. Thank you again.

I like how the words you've chosen paint a picture of the consequences of life. Each stanza talks about a different phase of life and your words paint a memorable picture. First no comfort, then long years, then life's not over, still reflecting until the light is seen.

Hi ya,
how beautiful this reads and so sad. A lifetime waiting to receive forgiveness for a past sin from your maker is a lonely existence to bare.
Good luck.
Brenda

A very deep and compelling poem. It is rather dark to me, for it seems to relate to a lady who is so sorrowful for her sins that her body is in pain and people reject her-it seems like she also rejects herself even though she is forgiven and want to pass it on-it seem the only thing she passed on was guilt and sorrow. Very emotional poem.
