Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

In the Middle of the Universe I Stand

In the middle of the universe, I stand
To choose between the darkness and the light
The world around me I must understand
To seek spiritual knowledge or delight
As I am a minuscule current born
To flow in life's stream to the final end
Another soul to fill God's harvest horn
This center is mine to own and defend
To let evil, conquer its fragile wall
and allow demons to enter its door
To tilled dark earth my spirit will fall
The harvest horn would gather me no more
And should my universe lose its center
To fiery gates of hell, I will enter
