When 'When' is Not Enough
by
Rusty Broadspear
When one is
wrapped in warm, fuzzy contentment
And the very air that's breathed, spins one, like
champagne.
When dark, fuming skies appear as radiant as summer
blue
And dilemmas, big or small, appear incredibly
inane.
When a word within a line, pleasingly disturbs one
And a line within a verse, vibrates veneers rarely
sensed.
When a poem holds a verse, so diverse, it makes one
wonder,
How this veritable vibrancy, can be so charmingly
condensed.
When the bumble of a bee, drones in the summer of a
day,
As one languidly immerses, in a balmy, gentle
dream.
When lines of briny mermaids, crash upon the shore,
One knows one's not alone, in this grand God given
scheme.
So, does one take these virtues, seal them to one's
heart?
Does one gratefully offer gratitude, with euphoric
breeziness?
When good fortune tramps with fate, yet unknowingly
frustrates,
Leaving one forever reaching, with hands full of
emptiness.
