Even after taking a deep breath
And a long sip of the morning chai
Verses just don't happen
Perhaps after a lazy walk down the lane
Or at the milkman's I shall be inspired
To capture the essence of life
Things that don't make sense will
Suddenly add up
But it doesn't happen like that
On a Sunday the words have gone
For a stroll
On somedays verses just don't happen
Let's not ruffle memories any more
Let's not hustle
Let's just lay spreadeagled
And listen to the calm
The silence of this room
The wordlessness that makes up
The world...you and me
Verses will arrive on their own whims
Today let's give in to the power of
Just not happening
And something may suddenly happen
