SonnetāāāAn Invocation to The MasterĀ #133
Oh, many are the cares infesting Thy world,
Bodies needing nurture and minds gone astray,
The vital like a delinquent always dismayed
And the hearts given to passionās play.
Like living sphinxes these are, always querying
In cryptic speech and gesture for an answer,
But no response is ever deemed satisfying
For the soul within sulks back to slumber.
Oh, I battled these on the fresh field of day,
Woke my heart to resolve, the mind prepared,
Donned my will and poise to the bitter fray
And fought with intent to Thee aligned.
Think not my loyalty to another is turned,
Thee I have adored, so it shall be till the end.
One-Eyed Prophet

One-Eyed Prophet
Sonnet
Such an one-eyed prophet am saddled with,
Always an eager sermon upon his lips
Or breaks monotony with a few parables
Cautioning my being in every breath.
I wonder in which school of little reason
He was tutored, what lesson half-blind
From the dull tracts of time has gathered
Forever warning of venturing near the Sun.
This wilful author of profuse tragedy
Inventing a woe a minute without rest,
Dogs my hours with his dirgeful best
With pathos and mournful melancholy.
Mute then Sire, this one-eyed prophet,
I tire of his proverbs and psalms of regret.
