There is no rainbow
That works for us in circles!
Have you ever seen
A full-circled rainbow?

There is no grasp
That holds without efforts.
Have we not all seen
The day’s eye, toil to regale
By its molten glow?

There is no truth
That speaks without rummaging through lies.
Have you not heard the scriptures –
As the gospeller speaks?

As such, I have not studied a line,
A poem, or heard a gospeller speak!
Yet, within me, there is a Spring
Of repose, that lifts my life’s sonnet-notes....

And think now.
To this second: are we all not truly blessed?
In some form,
Or the other!
