~Instincts~

Sheer elegance;
Melodious horns trumpeting.
The celebrational parade through clear skies
As geese journey in perfect follow-the-leader formation
Ingrained, Soaring high,
Teaching to follow our intuition,
Beseeching us;
Steal free our imprisoning restraints,
Binding ties,
Cumbersome chains.

Fear--
It links us to the concise,
Keeps us bound to convention.
Fear--
It is the teaser that
Dangles curiosity like
A hypnotist's antiquated pocket watch;
Back ~ Forth
Swaying to indecision.

New life
Directly in our line of vision,
A mere risk away.

Interesting that our instincts lead us to take the risk of writing and exposing ourselves to others in this way.  This is nicely done, and made me think.  Thank you.

Thank you muchly, Marge!

I marvel at the simplicity of nature
and wonder why we must complicate
our lives so needlessly sometimes.
