A Shakespearean Sonnet.
Each sinew tensed courageously in might
This fortitude enables one to dare
With outstretched hands to strike a spark to light
A lamp within the darkness of despair.

In waves of heat its radiance is felt
On discontented deserts white with snow.
Through fertile land revealed beneath the melt
A mighty river now begins to flow.

Its water bears a promise to the seed
And cuts through pregnant soil like a knife.
Yet in the spot it forced the earth to bleed
A garden now emerges filled with life.

And in this garden many seek to camp
To see the man who said, "I'll light a lamp."
