My Known
wind...
flush my body so heavily that I may feel the slight push of small thin hands
as if paper walls were chasing me with unwritten thoughts of my own motivation
that i have forgotten when i was o so young
motivating thoughts as is they where clouds in the sky
that would gladly beckon at my call and wallow the ground with me for moments
just to send me skyward and filled with more anticipation than i thought i could imagine
back then...
O but how age has come to deceive me out look of life
my wondrous, righteous, questioning, out look of life...
Is that it?
Is there nothing more of mystery for me to explore?
Was there once a heart pounding hysterically at the wickedness
that were my non genius plans
but they where mine
and full of destructive tools that could create an empire for me to stand upon.
but...
is that what happens when you get that unsuspected knock on the door?
that knowing but, unwanted, knock on the door
the one that the high to eye but low in the mind speak about
knock on the door...
No
I shall not give in to these calls of chains that must be worn because
of lost youth, gone want, fleeting self assurance
may many not look me weary
for I smile at my not so many
while they starve to fill there unknown
