Mundanity Poem by Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr

Wings don't always fly

It's just a reasonable assumption

like saying every person

with hips bones and legs

can walk or bend at the knees


Logic and Reason

be socratically deft

as Vision and Faith

yet, at some point by virtue

latter becomes the former


Eyes aren't always perspicuous

to images dangling before them

'tis why deep sleep be rewarding

for in dreams we can do anything

rapid eye movement deems possible



Wishing we had wings to fly

far away from Logic and Reason

that sometimes brings us to our knees

blinding and deafening you and me-

from Life's vineyards an' rainbows



'Til Death comes for our Souls

shaking 'Its' head at the likes of us

in the knowing all too well

that 'It' be our only pure escape

from our penchant for mundanity.
