Dare
What if in life's stare
you dared unveil your bare.
If only for a flitting moment
you were not encumbered in a conceal.
That the soft rays and cool winds
carressed the folds and wrinkles
while harsh eyes and rude reprimands
attended your every step.
What if you dared consider
yourself human wrought with fears,
and with falsity didn't seek
to climb the glass ladder of angels.
That the creepy bug spooked you
and in courage steeped in crowds
you didn't seek to strutt the globe.
What if just for a time
You sought yourself,
bare from Adam's fig leaves
that even in jeers and sneers
a tear you'd not be shamed to shed.
What if you dared, to be happy.
