From the Pit
(Sonnet)
By Marlene Mesot
04/08/2026
Two paths diverge from out the pit,
Where whirling sand chaos emits,
Opposing choices for our picks.
Temptation swirls in dust cloud spits.
One path so wide it becons strong.
Surely easy journey not long.
Other narrow winding not straight.
What unseen force controls this fate?
The earth a sea of souls unrest.
Whose voice one heeds determines test.
One who is first may end up last.
Choose wisely when your dye is cast.
Burden lifted His yoke is light.
Heaven or Hell resolve the fight.
