Sonnet

De Profundis.
Out of the depths have I called.
Out of mortal dark comes lasting bliss.
Out there is an open valley, yet this world is tightly walled.

My daughter’s thousand piece puzzle of Raphaello’s The School of Athens finally completed.
Yet two pieces are missing.
In life in the end we always are cheated.
On a turbulent sea drifting.

In the centre stands Plato.
For all his knowledge still deficient.
Yet the puzzle can still grow.
Despite failure hope is sufficient.

We feel alone, sitting in the dark looking at the sun’s rays.
Our fears yet to be resolved at the end of our days.

Haiku

We are all alone
In the dark seeking the Sun
Fears resolved by life
