Our perception is colour blocked.
It is not just light or dark.
A single ray piercing through the water drops
can create a majestic rainbow arc.
Why be a Knight who sets off to seek
some mystery treasure or unknown quest?
Why chase some dream that is not your own?
Why cage the mind; cause heart’s unrest?
Why beg for love or yearn for a friend?
Why smother your voice – subdue your heartbeat?
The twinkle you want to see in someone’s eyes
do that for yourself – don’t accept defeat.
The world doesn’t dictate your destiny.
The cacophony of crickets shall stay.
Don’t let the rasping get to you.
Don’t let the poison in – don’t go astray.
Laugh out loud; giggle all you want.
Don’t be ashamed to be just ordinary.
Defeat your demons – in triumph then scream
I’m a fighter & writer of my enchanting story.
