A totally fabulous sonnet! One that keeps on giving... And I'm particularly pleased at the inclusion of "calligraphy"! :)
Such beauty and profound emotion. I've been going through some tough times and this just transports me. This is why I love and need poetry.
Thanks for posting this, dear C

There are fine cracks in beauty, and this reads like the lichen that grows in one of those tiny crevices. Peacefully stunning, Dave.
