For the Ladies of Poetry Soup (Shakespearean Sonnet)
ORBIT OF MAGNIFICENCE
Has anything before been quite this bright
Defining countenance within pure beauty?
Its aura blinds the thirsting eye of light
To knowledge of the plan in nature's duty.
When in the orbit of magnificence
A balm of Gilead will calm the soul;
An essence so divine in permanence,
Reminding us of nature's centered whole.
Satori is not light objectified,
It emanates from vessels bearing truth.
So truth through beauty can be dignified
If captured in created truth of youth.
Ambrosia is my love's sweet gift to taste,
Partake of it without a lover's haste.
