The sonnet based on Isaiah 1:18 reflects God’s invitation to reason and seek forgiveness. It portrays sin as scarlet and crimson stains that God promises to cleanse, making the soul pure and white as snow. The poem emphasizes divine mercy, the transformative power of grace, and the call to turn from darkness to God’s light through repentance and faith.

“Come now, let us reason,” speaks the Lord,
His voice a balm to hearts in sin’s embrace.
Though scarlet stains your soul, His sacred word
Proclaims a path to purity and grace.
Your crimson guilt, like blood upon the snow,
He offers to make white as winter’s gleam.
Through mercy’s might, His love shall overflow,
And wash away the shadows of your dream.
No deed too dark, no fault beyond His reach,
His reasoned call invites the soul to turn.
In humble steps, His righteousness beseech,
And find the fire of His compassion burn.
O hear His plea, let reason guide your way,
For grace transforms the night to endless day.
