Companion Me
Sonnet — An Invocation to the Master #334
A sullen reverie thrust like an unwanted gift
Brings covert projections to dream surface,
A repertoire of fears and desires to glut
By my person already satiated with sloths.
A war of inertias as at beginning of a world
When each stirring of will is painful labour,
And then for the action to be discovered
Follows a long experiment of trial and error.
Wherein here is hid the secret knowing light
That must my groping blindness surely lead,
Whereof this extended rule of Inconscient
When I must be rightly in Thy arms held?!
Wilt Thou allow me a little light’s leeway,
Companion me with Thy illumining ray?
