Onward Paths
Sonnet — An Invocation to The Master #60
The many protocols of observance,
Of ritual and gesture deep nuanced,
For apt action the rules remembered
Leaving no room for subtler muse.
But now an etiquette new imposed,
A pristine method of thought and action
Upending laws that are in motion
Ere since this earth its sun pursued.
Thus this stark little fire-call
Piloting from the hollow of body
Life through fear and woe nimbly
Defying events that wish it to stall.
By every siege this fire doth grow,
For all onward paths Thou doth know.
