English Sonnet
DEEDS
Along life's way there are the little cells,
inside of which are lives in parallel,
the walls are windowless so no-one sees
therein if hearts are warm or cold diseased.
The island of the home and of the man,
small enclaves set upon an oceans span
where living is dim seen amongst the waves,
close as your hand, far away as the grave.
Words are a sound inspiring or just plain
and through them real insight is hard to gain,
the coding of a man’s most true intent
is when words purchase action, honest spent.
Then we will understand how truthful reads
the manifest of people through their deeds.
