Sonnet I

Whether we write or speak or do but

We are ever unapparent.

What we

Cannot be transfused into word or book.

Our soul from us is infinitely far.

However much we give our thoughts the

To be our soul and gesture it abroad,

Our hearts are incommunicable still.

In what we show ourselves we are ignored.

The abyss from soul to soul cannot be

By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.

Unto our very selves we are

When we would utter to our thought our being.  We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,  And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
