Today there was an in between,
Where words speak softly from laden shelves,
And still the world moved.
Oh..the nerve of the world!
With its great arrogance,
Moving when poetry happens
Browning cried from a shelf,
And I stopped,
Picked her up in moody contemplation,
And she soothed my spirit with a sonnet.
Total osmosis of spirit.
I found a treasure,
And held it close for the day.
