Rhapsody of finite exuberance
(after T. S. Eliot)
Twitch to that breeze of sneeze
Swipe, at nose tips that surmise
Seek ye a meaningful vindication
Glimpse ye a gleaming pathology
Laden horizon with choice’s gravy
Label heritage as causality’s grave,
Finesse life so as to incarcerate fate
Drew drops as our tears crystallised
Gloved warmth gifting stoic resolve
Scarlet scarves as necklaces of hope
Lament curating our heart’s fortification
Woe, inspiring meaningful conversation,
Coughing gaiety to enrapture levity
Epidemic of laughter as our reward
Excess our life’s statement of success
Twilight as nature’s daily exuberance
Existence as anathema to finiteness
Rhapsody our poetic transcendence

That's the dream Andy, thank you!
"Rhapsody of finite exuberance" is a powerful and thought-provoking poem that speaks to the human experience in a profound and meaningful way.

I effervesce my friend & truly .. Neville
you have me grinning ear to ear, Hyung
I really hoped you would like this one
your unfailing kindness humbles me yet again

L.B. This poem is loaded, crammed, stuffed with lines of great depth. It requires multiple readings. A couple of lines that stood out to me "Finesse life so as to incarcerate fate:" "Lament curating our heart’s fortification" They provoked many thoughts and deeper emotions. Also sriking chords of recognition was "Coughing gaiety to enrapture levity Epidemic of laughter as our reward" How true this act that we put on, whether to convince others or ourselves. And a theme I have been proposing your line"Excess our life’s statement of success" said it all.
sounds like you genuinely enjoyed the read
I love your enthusiasm my cherished friend
your kind support is never taken for granted
humbly, I thank you!
Can't hardly shake the connection with the common cold, which the whole family is now sniffling away through. The doctors have done their due diligence and told us to rest up and ingest lots of fluids, we got the common cold! Finally.
how very thoughtful of you to share
glad it's not covid
hope you feel better soon, stay strong
A fine write , dear poet🥰
thank you!
glad you enjoyed the read, dear Poet
