sweet influence which coaxes to remove <br />my mind and affections to distant shore <br />my mettle by fire is seeking to prove, <br />by fire tempering to a worthier store. <br /> <br />sun and moon immortal shine, <br />single light and light deflecting, <br />like source of love, human-divine, <br />and Light of love love reflecting. <br /> <br />cycles swing from nothing to all, <br />changes point on changeless disc <br />like rise in pitch followed by fall, <br />full moon waning to waxing cusp. <br /> <br />of what noble metal is base clay made <br />that over it Light wages war with shade. <br /> <br /> <br />56/ august 30,2012: blue moon<br /><br />doug bentley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-10-11/
