Question: What is Life!? Thoughts and comments on this sonnet are welcome!.!.!.!?
What is life, if not a gem of dust compressed
In daedel hands, seeled, with hermetic power
Abloom an instant on a fenneled tower
A diadem of visons opalesced!.
What is life, if not a stormy sea
On which, but for the hour, you're set to sail
And quest quixotically to grasp the grail
'Til tritons trumpet, calling home to thee!.
What is life, if not the secret of a fateful gift
That once it's opened scourges you with thorn!.
And yet, the hand that animates the glove
So cleverly designed to hold and lift
In triumph, tips a laurel-wreathed horn
And sounds the sorrowing shell to hapless love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
