I dream of writing a sonnet profound,
But subject-matter attempts all escape;
And try for as you and I will have found,
The things we need are all captured on tape.
So moving on through our patterned life’s way,
Original thoughts come to us just once;
Part of our journey and all our dismay,
But our desires and all of our wants,
Can disappear as we blink our eyes;
Where can we find a true moment of peace?
Not but for looking at blue satin skies;
Quests and rare challenges must never cease.
Better go gently and raise to the deep,
All of the time we were waking asleep.
