Sam Kauffman Poet Sonnet

Recovery From Subjective Sight

Old adage:  What goes around comes around

Recovery from Subjective Sight 

Subjective eyesight sees a narrow way
No stoic smile for the inner child's face
Headlong into a righteous angst delay-
Humility on trial with biased grace.

Peering into mansions of another soul,
Reminds ego explore all new labyrinths,
Savor truth hidden in rhythmic rhymes’ role
Let words escape harsh judgements damning breath.

Grace restrains words dogged to throw verbal stones
Mercy’s lens delights in effort’s labor
Refreshes eyes enchantment for heart zones
Finds the unique original to savor.

Releases judgement of poet premonitions
Removes cataracts – compassion’s mission

Sotto Poet May 13, 2021 at 12:54 PM I am certainly not surprised! Very Well done, my friend. Blessings and regards

Andrea Dietrich May 13, 2021 at 12:29 PM very compassionate indeed!! Well done. Sam Kauffman May 29, 2021 at 2:08 PM Thank you Andrea! Haven't judged a soup contest yet, but have judged vocal competitions and given workshops on writing poetry and lyrics. Those experiences were great eye openers - great mirrors of humility, walking in another artist's sandals and encouraging a desire to learn from other talented artists! Blessings.
