Suspension of Belief

Are lingering sighs, while expressing disbelief Showing some frustration ere welcome relief, With sincere, rapt attention to what it entails Carefully absorbing the minutest of details, Sometimes with the aid of a silk handkerchief. Then, too, observing the most foolish mischief Showing itself in a variety of impetuous motif Sending one off the straight and narrow rails, Are lingering sighs. A heavy sigh can denote suspension of belief Or registering information requiring a debrief, To assure utmost security from whatever assails Attention-getting, to be sure, notice never fails, Quite different from sudden breath-taking grief Are lingering sighs.
