Life's Mysteries

Lingering marvels in life do prevail Ironies along paradoxes reign Fears midst love, pain with bliss while tears assail Expressing faith above logic for truth gain. Surprise attack, suspense shock, skeptic doubt Magnify mysteries’ enigma-sense… Yonder realities in their known route Seek settlement upon strong truth defense. Trials with triumph, turmoil against hope Ephemeral versus eternal clash Reasoning by proof of experience-scope Invites heart and mind accord without crash… Exposed to myriad wonders, I’m so blest Safe in God*, fathoming best from the rest. *Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. December 15, 2020 Hybrid sonnet in acrostic form Rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG 2nd Place, "Life's Mysteries in Hybrid Sonnet in Acrostic" Poetry Contest Sponsored by John Hamilton; judged on 12/31/2020.
