Abandon Discovery

That feeling that wells up

Similar to the urge

Of cartwheels and open paths

An urgency to let loose

An action that could be tamed

But the aftermath of joy

Flooded heart and face

Like the blood that surged to my head

Now I'm seeing stars

A rush of life

Of being yourself

To be given over to it all

To then realize you've done

The abandon

And no graceful way to come back to earth

We're taught how to tuck and roll

To brace ourselves

Perhaps there's no need to learn such novelties

If the novelty was fully embraced

There's things that leave me tired

But not of being stuck in trees

But not climbing those trees

To never attempt

To walk on by

Stride through life with eyes on your feet

How we often shut down ideas

Over rationalize

When adventure awaits

There's intrigue in the discovery

There will be things we remember

Or never experience

If we suppress it

We may forget who we are

I want to use my sense

Not common

To breathe, feel, see, hear, taste

And know

That it is so very good
