Transcendental Sonnet #1205:
Bright Lights! Sweet Joys!

for Silke

Ubi caritas et amor
Deus ibi est: I live for
That presence of God in those around me
In whose love and kindness God has found me

Post tenebras lux: after dark
However deep however stark
The light returns and dark must fade away
Must yield to the epiphany of day

With love and light surrounding me
I reach to you across the sea
And pour it all into your heart
For you and I are not apart
But yin and yang in loving equipoise
God bloom within your heart: Bright lights! Sweet joys!
