Ceneri Scenery - Acrostic Sonnet

Some sights may best be seen with eyes
Tight shut, as if the Truth would bar
Commotion caused by Man, whose star's
Extinguished soon. Whoever tries
Nature’s patience, to his surprise
Encounters forces rooted far.
Restive desires disturb and jar.
Internal harmony defies
External influence, and wise
Need [s]he be who the nenuphar.
Guards, guides to blossom, whose lodestar
Enlightened shines, who shuns disguise.
Review ambitions from within, -
Ecstasy, where wor(l) ds grow thin.
I pause to wonder, can find no rest…
