Do you know "when"?

Do you know "when"? 

Something that comes in one's mind

Rather trivial but not easy to find

This, that does come along one sees

It is a word though, very obscure to be

And that word that one will know

Stops in a void also stops in the flow

This word shows up now and then

And that word is not patient, that word is when

It is a word with no substance one cannot grasp

Not even to lock onto not in one's hand to clasp

What could possibly be that one is so impatient for

Right here is all one needs nothing else, nothing more

But yet lacking wisdom to an ego that one is pleasing

The mind tries to delve into that substance looking for reason

Striving through aggravation as there can be no end

If you have no patience, then one will never know when
