Would you cc this sonnet?

As light dances red to horizon's end

So do we while approaching last breath

To complete life's arc with its final bend

and contemplate stillness in silent death

How quickly we flee from our past design

Find order in reflections we ponder

and struggle with our memory's decline

To lose direction, begin to wander

How fleeting our journey across its space

Through life's brambled meadows of colored days

With smaller shadows and vanishing trace

We cling to days fading of lighter grays

How slow is understanding of our plight

How cold journey's end through darkness and light

    The story is gentle, but measured and quite intense as well.

    Seems to meet most the parameters of a sonnet except

    the unstressed/STRESSED syllabic prosody but I could be

    wrong there. Strong piece, good rhymes to support your effort.
