Sonnet III

By Bernie Pilarski

Sonnet III

In the darkness where my soul does exist
Away from the din and toil of living,
The place where I go when I am pissed,
When I see no reason for forgiving,
I find the illusion of solitude,
A ruse I play upon myself to make
Me think that I have been ever so shrewd.
Truth of the matter is there's more at stake
Than a mere respite from irritation,
Because in this dark and most sacred place
I find myself in a situation
Where I must confront the presence of grace
And to decide to join in creation
Or devote myself to profanation

Been there many times, Bernie, trying to delineate that old war of good vs. evil.
