Reason Poem by Tom Billsborough

Reason

Rating: 5.0


Let eyes and wings alight
Upon the anima of Reason.
Let our minds delight
In just conclusions
Based on evidential logic
And in the swallow's flight
And of the Painted Lady
And our own flights
In search of distant water.
Let us forgo the old lies
Based on guilt and fear
Which seek to pin the butterfly.
Forgo the dull charades
That stifle dreaming.

There's a BBC programme on, I think it's the 11th October, about the Painted Lady butterfly and its incredible migration from North Africa. Migration is an amazing phenomenon. Here I use it as a symbol of our imagination and desire to explore. Thanks for your comments. When the whole poem is finished I'll message you a copy. I'm about three-quarters way through at the moment.
