Knock

Each moment, like life itself, is a pleasant knock, This, like the spring surprises, unlocks each time clock; And unpacks puzzling feelings like Pandora box, Making me take hold of my lifeboat like a cox... Knocks are manifold like milkman knock and postman's Policeman knock stops my heart like a lanced glance; Knock of freedom flows flawless, like dew on a rose, And lover's knock at darling's heart no limit knows... Once I dreamt as though got knocked by an ambulance, Lying as a corpse cursed to dead ambiance; Grave dug; coffin decorated; body embalmed, When I woke I found the whole story flaw-bombarded... Life is like rugby, full of knocks, knockouts, knockdowns Rubbing shoulders creates breakdowns and shakedowns; Knock of hate can sound sometimes like knock of pure love, Resonance of knock within does love's union shove... Divine knock, often, beats in the heart like sea waves, Erupting number of thoughts like volcano caves; When avoid it clings like iron on the magnet, I entangle within, like fish in a dragnet... Knocks must be, like all events, viewed objectively, In them, are hidden meanings so collectively; If each knock leads to a call of divinity, Earthly life can turn into divine dignity... 14 September 2021 ''K'' Contest, New or Old Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France
