The Mind of Man - Sonnet III


What marvel this the mind of man that he,
Does God exist at all upon this earth,
Ideas formed and nurtured from our birth,
Could souls exist for all eternity?
Or ponder this a false dichotomy,
At times transporting us to merry mirth,
What energies we spend our wonder worth,
Yet pause the questioned answer sets us free,
A liberty beyond all strife or strain,
Before the bones are placed beneath the sod,
With boundless faith the search is not in vain,
To reach beyond this beauteous earth we trod,
To sense beyond belief that we will gain,
The gift, the mind, the soul, and love of God.
