Pure venom from vain lips they only give Revealing depths of emptiness within Contention is the god for whom some live Sight blinded still by blight of Adam's sin. Impressive to themselves their knowledge fine An argument is pressed at ev'ry turn The fruit produced ferments to bitter wine A vile brew the meek in spirit spurn. Confusion veils complete with heavy gloom Its pall of death enshrouds the atmosphere As dark as any grave in granite tomb Is there a light at all can shine in here? Eternal God, Your Light hath brightly shown 'Tis You alone can roll away the stone. ------------------ Denise |

Mike is absolutely right - This is absolutely fantastic!! You must have more sonnets in your sonnet pocket than anyone I know - and this one is among your best...  |

I love Sonnets, Denise. And this is perfect! ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |

Thank you, Dark Angel, Mike, Elizabeth, Nan, Ohme, Marge, Isis and Balladeer for your warm comments! They mean so much to me, each and every one! Elizabeth-Thank you for the sweet little poem! Nan-I have you to thank for the sonnets! I snuck in on your classes! I think they have become my favorite form! Isis-You are so sweet! I have lots of ones I don't like until I work them over a bit! And if I can't get them to my liking I don't share them with anybody! Thanks for asking and for your kind comments. ------------------ Denise |

Thank you, Rebecca! Your comments warm my heart! Yes, I do know about the Spiritual forum. I have several posted there! Some things, though, I like to share in the Open forum! (sort of like being the salt of the earth, if you will!)  ------------------ Denise |

Oh, Denise, this is amazing. Many times have I tried to write a sonnet and failed. You have written this beautifully. Thank you. |
