Sonnet: Contemplating the Divine

[teddywolf]

We turn to face the dawning of the sun
Its radiance all golden like our dreams.
The comfort of its warmth makes my heart run
Into a world that's more than what it seems.
Is this the will of something more than Man
Who has control of hydrogen in stars?
Or is the world a simple lonely span,
A lovely place, for all we do that mars?
So many call upon a God divine,
Contemplative of blessings from above.
Yet many more profane all that is fine
With hatred as a guide instead of love.
I think it is peculiarly odd
That humans have so many names for God.

Thoughtful, and thought-provoking... and punnish without making itself silly. I was about to say I disagree with the closing couplet, till I realized that "names", especially in the context of the last quatrain, isn't meant literally. Yes.

(Typo, l.4: that's more that what it seems => than)

I wanted thought-provoking for this one, so I'm very glad you like it. And thank you for the proofread - fixed.
