Sonnet #392

 The universe is vast and lives forever

But I do not. My brief visit in this place

Will be forgotten soon, I’ll leave no trace

And when my meager work mumbles lovers

In the dark, it will not be so different from

The love of animals or kings, just variations

On the same old thing. stories build nations

And people live all their little lives inside them

The endless sky calls endless dreams to play

But every dream we have is not so lost

We can only dream what sounds like what we say

What shapes we see, what hopes we have, we’ve lost

The endless void inside that swirls, the holy sway

Of stories beyond the sound. Our flesh is always lost.
