The Thought Is Enlightening (Rubaiyat Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

The thought is very much enlightening
and maybe somewhat kind of frightening
that from glorious loveliness such as yours
comes a wonderful, special kind of thing.

Man perceives God almighty in greatness
and in His works perceives His kindness,
this I find when I am closely looking at you
who in vivid beauty has some meekness=.

I wonder if sincere love is blessed like this,
in the thing that is much more than bliss,
that sparkles bright with a kind of magic
always comes free in the way that it is?

Still I do lack in my understanding you:
of what makes a woman good and true.
