Far Eternal

Far Eternal

Sonnet

Not all past is dead, nor all alive in future,
Not even bodied present truly alive appears.
A miniscule sliver separates truth and errors,
The sprawling world a living field for its capture.

Torn references on shattered mirrors of mind
Are pinhole glimpses of something beyond us
Dazzling and baffling our valiant mind compass,
An everywhere North mocks our minds confused.

The director of thy actor’s role is in thee too
Fashioning thy masks various and scripts thy lines
In abyss and heights its His artistry that shine,
Even from spectator eyes glimpse His flame true.

Boldly then mount the hours and galloping years,
By such alone the far Eternal immutably nears.

Human Stain

Human Stain

Sonnet — An Invocation to The Master #243

Long have I been a lamp by means human,
My body a malformed cup of earthly clay,
The wick from thoughts finely drawn,
Fuelled by the heart that fervently did pray.

By its feeble flickering I have clambered 
The inhospitable foreboding heights,
Where no aid of aiding hand is offered 
To ford the crevice or stay from precipice.

I have guarded this flame from the ire 
Of fates and the deep animosity of earth,
But now its fiery limbs ebb and tire
And dwindles to an ember it was at birth.

Oh let not this flame have burned in vain,
Leave not untransformed the human stain.
