INSIPID II
They write..
Such gorgeous lines..
With curves wrapping 'round a waiting mind..
They loop about and fly and dive,
As you try to catch the meaning..
Of this wonderful butterfly oh so spry.
I am flaccid in my understanding as I stop!
Gasping for breath at the chase..
Lost in the meandering musings of a master's kind.
I pen a ditty of farmers watering arid lands,
While the master frolics,
Ink in hand..at the ready...of maiden voyages of the Titanic..
Paintbrush in lively, but deadly hues...
The deflowering of a ship,
Cleaved in two..
By a cold giant of the sea..
The unsinkable, the unthinable..by the immovable!
I wonder at the depths of such imaginings,
While I slog through mud and toil..
I am stutter and stumble..
Whilst the master sails the breeze,
Cuts a swath with mighty pen and tease,
Gallivants, swashbucklers they must be...
Creating waves across the seas!
So much like the ripples in time.
They leave their calling card..
A Titanic of their own making,so fine..
Unbroken, unyielding..
Safely navigating past an iceberg waiting,
And they succor me in my bewilderment!
Peace
