Transcendental Sonnet #483:
Perspective
What then am I and why do I try anyway
To make any sort of a difference down here
As a dark soul in a dark world in a dark day?
My meaning is relative to nothing I fear
And does anybody really care after all
As I fall between before and after the fall?
The only thing which I can do is to be me
And to wrestle with the angel as best I can
Only a determined resistance can free me
From being a hollow plastic corporate man
If there is any meaning I mean to find it
And then if I find it I will get behind it
A matter of perspective a way of seeing
To be no more nor less than a human being

Hello Megan, my friend!
I want you to know how much your kind replies to my sonnets mean to me; I truly appreciate your close and thoughtful reading of my work.
Yes, this one is darker; I was depressed when I wrote it. Later Silke and I laughed about it, because it had been a lot darker than it ended up being; she made me feel so much better that it ended up only medium-dark, I suppose. These sonnets of mine are like journal entries, reflecting my ups and downs, the pages of my life. Thanks so much for reading them!
I enjoy reading your work too, very much. I must apologize for not replying to more poems hereabouts; I do read them, though, and yours are among my very favorites.
And I am in unbreakable solidarity with you, my friend and fellow poet, always.

Dear Steven...
I like this sonnet(even if it makes me sad to know that you were sad when you wrote it....)
Please,just know that all will be well.
Things will turn out to the best for US!
*Hoffnung*
Man braucht im Grunde nur Hoffnung, Liebe und Glaube, um würdig existieren zu können. Es scheint uns doch sehr wenig zu sein, doch dieses Wenige ist alles, was uns bleibt, wenn wir alles verloren haben.
