It started as a prayer, “wrote itself” during April, 2018, and by the end of the month–tragically–dedication presented itself.
It feels like a devotional to me. It has helped me, and I hope it will help others as well.
Never despair. Never give up your faith. Never let your soul slumber.

Truly impressive… I know the dedication and discipline it takes to wrote a heroic crown of sonnets…(I did one effort with some small cheating… ) … well done.

Fantastic and soul stirring sonnets. I salute you for your dedication to the form, and to theme of Light and Hope. If you haven’t thought of it already, you can have this self-published as a chapbook. Kudos!

Very nice! Perfect meter. I would not have thought such complicated sonnet sequences could have been written.
