To Be

Unreasonable

Can you feel the power of this word?

Erecting electrical fences that spell out in crimson red

“TILL HERE AND NO FURTHER”

When you spread your wings wide

And prepare for the flight

Not knowing that your feet are glued

To a very ‘reasonable’ ground

Growing roots so thick that might suffocate a poor life

But ‘Unimaginable’, now that’s your word

As it rolls off your lips and the tip of your tongue

Dancing within your cavernous mouth

Up and down and up and down

Can you taste the adrenaline yet?

It is the wingless flight high above those fences

It is the mad dance of feet reclaiming the empty roads

It is Life, spelled out in crimson red

A thousand reasons to live

Versus one burning desire to be
