The Fourth Floor [Yet Another Original Poem By Me]


((I realize that this is two in a row...

but I just want to see how other people like them.))




It nestles on my windowsill

Almost

Maybe

As if it belongs there


My imagination toys with the idea it presents

Runs wild

Free

Picturing my daredevil escape


Open the window

Climb down the tree

Take off across the grass

Barefoot


Do not stop

No

Stopping is for quitters

I don’t quit

I never quit


The wind snatches at my hair

A tangled mess now

But I don’t mind at all

I’m free


I’m in Spain now

Italy

Morocco

Tibet

I’m not stopping

No

Stopping is for failures

I don’t fail


It sits outside my window

Beckoning me

Calling me

This branch of the old magnolia

Whispering adventure to my curious mind


But no


I shut the window

And take the stairs

Faith. Trust. Pixie Dust.
