One Hundred and Fifty-Five Sonnets - 29. oracle
.
Sonnet No. 57
Our physical world has its own consciousness,
Which at the tiniest level always stays
A grouping of lifeless particles that stress
Us philosophers into an active haze.
So when I shutter myself still and apart,
I focus my energy on you and feel
Your reciprocation is all of my art –
If some of these images can find appeal.
For if there's a thing called the God particle,
It's a piece of reality paused until
The glance of human love turns it oracle
And offers order unto the volatile.
Agnostic, philosopher, or simple bard,
It's we who must push God to be the vanguard.
Sonnet No. 58
Holy Wisdom has raised her lofty dome
Above vaulted arches for centuries –
Her archangel wings fly in polychrome
Over buried crypts that hell might appease.
From atop their shimmering gold lookout
Christ-like stares pity mankind far below,
And question if anyone is devout,
Or if God is someone we could ever know.
But in wisdom is also a question,
And humility marched with Him to the cross,
So marble and jasper may clothe the sin,
And thereby His intentions double-cross.
Though some will abscond Love's greatest teachings,
Others like you and I live His preachings.
