EJA

Sonnet CIX

Direct glumness to the magenta skies,

And hold fast as shadows depart thy face;

Where angels’ wings of gold do galvanize,

And life well before thee, no sorrow trace.

As ceiling ‘tis as masters hath tinted,

So bright that hate cannot before it live

In its blazing glory eyes hath squinted;

For such color to the ether doth give.

Radiant skies summon mine own unto thee,

And remove all faint sadness and ill health

That by thy shimmering light I can see

The brightness in the world for all its wealth

So look on angel hue in passion’d sky

For life lived in color may thee ne’er die.
