These three souls

Hilary Uhl 1985 (Philadelphia, PA)

Sonnet
Three souls stand before me
The wolf, the goose and the lion

The wolf wanders
aimlessly seeking joy
Hope abounds yet
alludes him

The goose squawks
in the sun's face
Rebelling against all
while loving all around her

The lion roars
mercilessly at all
While hoping for
love to find her

I love them all
These three of me
These three of you
