Shrink No More

Shrink No More

Sonnet

Oh why hast thou withdrawn thy ways,
The patterns of thy dealings with me,
Only a long dwelling hush can I see,
Nowhere an outline of a clue to trace.

Where are thy storm’s loud-voiced roar,
The surge of events thrown into pell-mell,
Casting our lives in a churning spell,
Our concerns dispersed to directions four.

Hast thou forgotten thy work in me
Or cast aside like an experiment wrong?
Why halt then thy music to my song,
Leaving me alone bereft of thy company?

Oh bring back thy repertoire of excess passion,
I will shrink no more in my growing submission.
