Gestation: The Tasting

08/14/2015

Feet caged in tennis shoes,
All but amused -
Bemused at the sensation:
The cessation of Earth to feet.

We pinch the tender reed
To divert rampant and wild growth,
Then scoff as it gets older
And asks permission to grow.

We set fires just to stamp them out,
Snuffing rather than sniffing
The fragrant airs we create
And co-create.

I am hearing, I am seeing,
I am all I long to be -
Unleashed, unbridled,
Taken; free.
