Sonnet 56 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares

Trancendencies


With utmost thoughts and intimates desires
I freed my spirit from wordly domain
And I have pushed myself apart to gain 
A higher throne to which my soul aspires.

Choosing between the paths that God inspires
I left the lures that please and entertain
Biting off the grief that grew from my pain
And imbibing wines a pure mind admires.

I open and close my eyes that are doors 
Through which life flows in all its dimentions 
And my spirit constantly flies and soars. 
Just to find a place of contemplation 
From which to plunge into a sea that roars
I crave fulfillment and chace perfection.
                              ***
