Wings don’t always fly
It’s just a reasonable assumption
like saying every person
with hips bones and legs
can walk or bend at the knees
Logic and Reason
be socratically deft
as Vision and Faith
yet, at some point by virtue
latter becomes the former
Eyes aren’t always perspicuous
to images dangling before them
’tis why deep sleep be rewarding
for in dreams we can do anything
rapid eye movement deems possible
Wishing we had wings to fly
far away from Logic and Reason
that sometimes brings us to our knees
blinding and deafening you and me-
from Life’s vineyards an’ rainbows
‘Til Death comes for our Souls
shaking ‘Its’ head at the likes of us
in the knowing all too well
that ‘It’ be our only pure escape
from our penchant for mundanity.
