A Sonnet

This is one of my favorite Sonnets.

Universal Thought

© 2007 Rolland G. Smith

Would that we could see far beyond the eye

To where the mind oft goes to be alone.

Where mystery blends with thoughts that never die

And magic melts the ice of what’s unknown.

The miracle of mind is what’s not seen

Except when artist’s hands can clearly show

The Universe and time set in-between

The silence and the thought; a vast tableau.

What greater gift is there, but to create

And greet imagination at its core.

It is in bringing forth that we await

The opening of wonder at the door.

The mind is just the hook to hold the thought

Before we let it go and what it’s wrought.
