A Shallow Bowl

 


Safety within this shallow bowl
Bound by chains that connect the whole
For what once was could never be
A dream of hope's epiphany

Freedom restrained by postern gates
Invisible yet grey as slate
The key within an unturned lock
Sends shivers through a frightened flock

The past will never come again
The future; just a vision when
Beyond the fear that locks the door
A mystery forever more

The opening not how, but when
For guarding it is fearful men
Afraid of what? They cannot say
The swelling crowd will have its way

Like angels on a joyful flight
Dance in newfound wonder's delight
A path untrod beyond the gate
Discovery; no time to waste

Together bravely in the night
From nothingness to shining light
For once the step is taken, yay
The wild windswept can lead the way

Thoughts try to raise the terror's veil
When solar winds are caught by sail
Set to an adventuring heart
So journey's stopped again can start

Look to a new horizon's shroud
Stand tall with shoulders broad and proud
Set sights on the explorer's star
Travel upon the future's hark
 
 
 
Not taking applications at present
