Leon Enriquez Poet Sonnet

Thoreau

Deep in these woods quest solitude,
Invite the heart and mind to stay;
See fare and food in attitude,
Choice learns to start a better way.
Engage spirit as body finds,
Reach to contact a deeper whole;
Niche zest and wit with peace of mind.
Thrill your own pact as truth makes whole,
Heed stillness here as silence treats,
Observe the feel of tensile calm;
Rise to now steer the path you meet,
Embrace wise will that spreads sweet balm.
Ample speaks more in affluent seed,
Use joy galore to feed scant need.

I also wrote a poem about Thoreau (Thoreau When He Went Wooding). if you care to check it out. Blessings, Darlene Leon Enriquez May 3, 2015 at 6:35 PM Dear Darlene: Thank you for your kind words.
