Transcendental Sonnet #618:
The Sweet Joys of Life
It is my destiny to tell your story
To bear witness to what you have suffered at
The hands of overprivileged and greedy
Men and going further to atone for that
To be good to you now and to make it right
And also to carry you into the light
That we together have a life worth living
Now and that your broken body now get well
To see your grounded spirit soar now giving
Wings to your beautiful soul to harrow hell
I come not just to make things right and then go
But to make happy memories with you to
Turn you aside from this darkness we both know
To taste all of the sweet joys of life with you
