A sonnet, entitled "the simplest glory"

the simplest glory

It is transformative, mere seconds to
complete, a moment shared and recognized
as overwhelmingly supreme, a true
and undisguised expression that is prized
by both the honorer and honoree.
For this is an attainment much desired --
and though 'tis commonplace, we all agree
it is unique and singular, required
for procreation yet repeated for
both affirmation and connection where
a straight reaction has the strength of more
than merely strict identity. Its bare
essentials are mundane and proud, and through
such base simplicity does love renew.
