Sonnet XV: Your Sacred Heart
© 4th of July, 2018
We dream of them, their lifeless forms at night;
We dream, we hug them tight and say goodbye,
And who were we before the dawn of light,
And you our paths will cross, and justice sigh.
"Your grave awaits!" a holy fauna beats
And never shall be stilled, who stands before
This life assured will never die, and cheats
A certain death, and who is heaven's lore?
It's you I'm sure, the God who shines so bright
You rule mans' soul; we pass this life for more
A hug, a kiss, is strength. Who walks the night,
And fails the dawn will ever walk the shore.
But you the sea, the tempest comes for us
To overwhelm, to flood our land, our truss.
