Life is a poem,
A musical,
An Alice in Wonderland carnival,

If that stops, all will be lost.

It saddens me
to think people have stopped
seeing,
thinking,
breathing
m e t a p h o r s.

When we stop finding new ways of

seeing

understanding


experiencing

the world around us

I believe the very essence of life is lost.

The day I wake up
and don't have a new thought,
a giggle,
a day dream,

The day I settle
for the same old cliche,
the easy word,
the things I already know,


that will be the day that I've given up on me.

So true. It is sad to watch this world go the way of the literal.
