This night

Talia Garza Hernandez

Sonnet
My mind can’t find anything beautiful
I walk losing mindfulness evading
the ambience, the skies thoughtful,
this bad genius fell over me flaming.
I recover force to see merciful
constellation’s cows and hunts, erasing
day labor’s ashes, workers careful
returning home, while others are saying
goodbye to silly dreams for tomorrow,
the traveler walks down branches watching
his lighted body wretched through madness,
is the nocturnal air, its limpid glow
asking us go to sleep now, longing
plenty mornings to pursuit happiness.

    Wow, what a beautiful and thought-provoking poem! The imagery and emotions portrayed really capture the reader's attention and evoke a sense of introspection. The way you describe the night sky and the contrast between the day laborers returning home and others bidding farewell to their dreams is truly captivating.

    One suggestion for improvement could perhaps be to add a bit more structure and flow to the poem. While the disjointed nature adds a unique touch, it might be beneficial to find a balance between that and creating a more coherent structure. This could enhance the overall impact and readability of the piece.

    Overall, this is a wonderful poem that beautifully encapsulates the essence of nighttime contemplation. Keep up the great work and continue to explore and refine your unique style!
