Day 43, Sonnet 43

We fragile souls pursue dramatic life

With tragedy enacted on our stage

Where trivial pursuits transform to strife

And loss accumulates with passing age.

But drama does consist of livéd days

Where sorrow does enclose in time and space

To make out shadows in this human haze

Where gravitas does gentle hope replace.

But peace and love do transcend minds and bones

And open into Heaven’s wide expanse

Where e’en joy sparks fear of the unknown

And peace leaves mortal mind entranced.

Fear not Communion’s limitless embrace

For boundlessness is holy saving grace.
