Sonnet 10

Sonnet 10

A Poem by Rosa Carlyle-Mitchell
"

A coincidental meeting

"
Tonight I spied with my unlidded eye
a gentle, curious face glazed in shadow;
the mind that might coerce my mind awry
and spur my exit from this shallow hollow.

Ideas of a freer, simpler way
master the cure for abstract minds.
Refractive tangents certainly delay
the knowledge of a better humankind.

Thus, perchance to have met at this junction,
is a work of subtle necessity.
Desperate truths resolve all compunction; 
and solve my fate's nervous perplexity . 

To look not on radically inquiring, 
invites a twist of fate quite inspiring.

I liked how this sonnet conveys down the read...and in the 3rd stanza and the last encompassing lines do you lay out this verse for what it's worth...
