The Ceiling And The Sky

In my innocence I was brave...

And knew no fear,

No boundaries, no limits, no doubts,

Unable to imagine my spirit contained.

 

The sky was open...

Then came that ceiling,

That flattened the top of my head,

And crowded my dreams with fear.

 

The ceiling was clear...

You could see right through,

Unwaivering and unmovable it sat,

Intending to crush my dreams, so...

Or is it rather embraced

As a means of escape

From those who

Don't care

different in values, they stand out, unknown.

Children are innocent, while the old face disdai...

The Cliff: A Tall Tale

Don't look down
They say
Starve yourself
Of the unknown

For nobody knows
What's below

I shield my eyes from the cliff
Proclaiming my distrust of the ledge

I sway as the wind
Whispers
Horrifying nothings in my ear

I dare not peak
Lest the bottom I seek

Tensing, I coerce the rock
To become one
With my feet

If earth hears my plea
Safety is guaranteed

I find
To my dism...
