A Sonnet about light and dark
Are we separated or connected
Are we separate, seeking dominance
or connected, joined one to the other?
Can the oppressor / oppressed circumstance
have masters treat their slaves as a lover?
++
Within undefined shadows a brief spark
can illuminate enlightened visions.
In a universe, with less light than dark,
coincidences provide provisions.
++
Synchronicity is an ancient rite,
accessed by those few who have not forgot,
that shades existing between dark and light
let chance encounters follow fleeting thought.
++
Connections create, with agility,
the improbable possibility.

Your weaving of cosmic imagery with human struggles is striking. It makes me think of how the universe itself mirrors the conflicts and connections within us.
These are some deep questions you started your sonnet with. I really love the line "shades existing between dark and light", it reminds me how complicated and complex things can be.
Love this introspective piece. Really great take on the challenge.
