Beyond Understanding Poem by John Sensele

Beyond facades of fear lay hope
The indefatigable angel that transmuted a lost cause
A costly judgment error, liquidated stupor on a slope
Tilted to a nourishing and ravishing pose for a rose.

Beyond traces of stress endured with unusual phlegm
Strength and length combined in synergy
To seek a strategy to extinguish a despair flame
When an invigorating thought imbibed new energy.

Beyond thoughts of faith dissolution
Grace sauntered by, laundered with chlorine
Browsing traces unbelievers threw into motion
To dislodge vigour values from the pate of a traumatised marine.

Beyond devastations wrought by a hurricane in Haiti
A baby cried, a lady died, a sadist smiled wryly
Food provisions evaporated, goodwill sailed to Tahiti
A déjà vu that elicited and emitted no relief daily.
