Transcendental Sonnet #254:
My Second Birth

Now my strange life has brought me to a place
Wherein I now begin a second time
A pregnant potential and state of grace

But perception pattern and paradigm
Are distorted by the dark of despair
Just out of sight but never out of mind
Deceiving me and always lurking where
It blocks the sunlight and renders me blind

Although Silke is far away from me
I have to know she loves me think of her
And let go of my fear of what might be
And grieve no more for things which never were

I am the most fortunate man on earth
In Silke I embrace my second birth
