  • Sonnet


    This man I know and do not know
    Is both a man and yet a boy;
    The parts I see he does not show:
    Division does his heart employ.
    He does not need my fond embrace
    Nor long to hear my every word,
    And still I read upon his face
    A gravity I’ve not yet heard.
    Within him live both joy and pain
    As even he could not deny;
    Is there faith to love again
    When rage has blotted out the sky?
    The storm is done, but will he see
    A new day dawns– that day is me.
