As Thee
Sonnet — Daily Poetry for The Master of Works #106
O shape me in Thy likeness,
Mirror in mind and heart Thy manners,
Seed within that will unflinching
Like the polestar our epochs watching.
Bestow on tongue Thy lyric and eloquence
And extravagant moods of revelling gods,
In limbs infuse the stillness beguiling
That yet endures actions world-shaping.
Raise in me the hundred mystic flames
That transmutes our trudge to a diviner pace,
Brim me with Thy purpose mind-exceeding
And efface all notions soul stifling.
In all my countenances I shall be as Thee,
Immortal, aloof and uncaring of me.
