Wonders

To all who give up Hope, hold on to that thin rope just a little longer.

And I say, may we never lose our wonder

Whilst the ideas of man fossils

And the dreams of many murdered

I say, take heart

Though darkness can erase all color when light seems to fade

Thus color inside still shines out bright

The eyes can deceive many

So why not go blind?

What is there to hold if not a grip of air

Touch-less, taste-less, and breath-less

And still the Earths lungs function perfectly fine as the swirl

Reaching all 4 corners of a sphere

And we fall? For weren't we born with legs?

Do they fail us now, still so young and strong?

While we rock the stars with our fingers, and paint the waters with our laughter

We decide to give into the trash fed from fear?

He is strong, we know, and has no shame

to suck the bricks dry which hold our house 

and as we attempt to tiptoe our way around

a silent whistle can set off such echo of failure

So why give up hope?

For minds have no limit, we have yet to reach it

And Rene Descartes says it all correctly

Cogito Ergo Sum, "I think, therefor I am"

But many have forgotten what it is like to dream

See, we dont have to be a brain in a vat

Or as high up as the rotating stars

All we need is for gravity to humble those

Who fly wingless over all

Trust me when I say; they will fall

Because they have lost their wonder.

So true, this is personally for me, an aspiring read for I often lose hope on people and things only to regret it afterwards...
I love how you incorporated stars in this write! I think the 3rd stanza has got to be my favourite here :)
Brilliant piece, Sire :))

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

Ah, you always come around Yumna, and so we shall repeat the thanks here as well

[Dr. YumnaKay]

And I'll repeat welcome ;)

By far one of the best pieces I've read in awhile. I'm trying to figure out what line is my favorite and I can't because you crushed this. Prophetic writing dropping knowledge.

"Rotating Stars" That is sick. A pleasure to take part in your writing. Seriously.

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

Humbled Sir, I am glad you came to visit the lonely waters of my mind. Thank you kindly

[duff]

Anytime. It was my pleasure. I'll be back to dive more into your work.
