Five Minutes of Elation

With age comes acceptance Happiness cannot squeeze itself Inside the sadness of my head Winter when its crisp Tiny morcels of occurance This will do for me instead When I feel virtuous A definite elation Has surely begun Shooting down Incisions of sadness Forcoming, delaying, outdone.. Embracing visions Too many, a futile sensation Natures own allowance that I breathe Encapulates for me, my five minutes of elation..

Hi Jo, I see you have reached the point in life where you have learned to accept the things that are thrown our way. Your poetry inspires me. I hope I'll get to know you more through your amazing verse! There's "soup mail" on this site. I just found out how to open mail yesterday, but I have not yet learned how to send mail, only to reply to those who write to me. You might try: support@poetrysoup.com. Love, Carolyn
