This cloak of self-deception blocked the light So shades of darkness were all I could see. While the radiance of truth shined so bright, Intensity of blackness blinded me. A sorry past saw all future as lies, And faithlessness had closed my every door. While I knew light was just beyond my eyes, My dead soul would not let me see once more. But hope’s the curse of a defiant mind! My need for love begged my heart to let go. Accustomed to the darkness, I was blind, When I looked at my future’s shining glow. Squinting I let my faithful eyes adjust, To happiness beyond me I should trust.

Sonnet To Squinting At True Happiness
This cloak of self-deception blocked the light So shades of darkness were all I could see. While the radiance of truth shined so bright, Intensity of blackness blinded me. A sorry past saw all future as lies, And faithlessness had closed my every door. While I knew light was just beyond my eyes, My dead soul would not let me see once more. But hope’s the curse of a defiant mind! My need for love begged my heart to let go. Accustomed to the darkness, I was blind, When I looked at my future’s shining glow. Squinting I let my faithful eyes adjust, To happiness beyond me I should trust.
