A poem dressed up to the nine
Suggests divergent style of fine,
Whose meaning transcends mortal mind,
Like 'Vision' of a man 'born blind, '
Though if God's muse one overheard,
Could poet own a single word?
Though men, of course, to truth aspire,
Might God's warmth set one's flesh on fire,
What colors seen by God in flight,
Await the dying of our light,
When souls expand to meld with God,
And not one Angel thinks it's odd.
Though sweetest verse serves vanity,
What poet ever authored bee?

Poet's Note:
This is a LongToothian Sonnet! Ha!
note well (the s at end of 'nine') : 'If someone is dressed to the nines or is dressed up to the nines, they are wearing very smart or glamorous clothes.'
I mean 'Men' in the sense of mankind Bri (which includes women) ! Also in a hint of humility, the poem suggests that all is vanity if God does not exist. Our poems are merely waves that break on a transient shore.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
L T, are you sure 'ALL' men aspire to truth? How 'bout women? ? NOW, I, bri, may 'have to' author 'bee'. bri : )
