A sonnet a day for February 2014 - day 2 - Open

Look at how heartily love laughs at us
She knows that we are fools trying to breathe
I have begged to be released without fuss
But love knows how tough, strong, hold we believe

Look at the sun shining, lighting our path
The bright rays must mean something I know true
Love is tricky and pain, heartbreak and wrath
Love is lottery, only meant for few

Look at what we think we hold, faith and hope
Keeping us scattered like pages about
We must be vigilant, prayerful to cope
Meditating. Waiting. Ready. Devout.

Look at our reflections there in the sky
Look at our questions always asking why
