Insanity or Innocence? (revised)

I suppose you could say

one could live their life like this

and be considered a Genius

or Insane...

 

Like a delicate ballerina, dancing on that fine line

looking down to find that she had remained seated.

And the bird that's flown to the ends of the Earth

but had never had the courage to leap from the nest.

 

You've written me letter upon letter

and I've read them all; their brilliant rhyme and pictures.

But it seems you ran out of ink long ago.

So I imagine what you would've written.

 

I've seen golden rooms and stone towers

that were never built.

I've been to lands of riches and happiness

that had never existed.

 

I've met the most extraordinary people in the world

but somehow they all look exactly the same.

And I've heard the most melodic sounds

but strangely enough, they remind me of my own laughter.

 

Yes my friends, I've seen these things and more!

I've swum to all seven seas, seven times over!

...And then found that my feet were just tied

to the swimming pool's edge......

 

And when my vine snapped

as I was swinging through the Amazon,

I only landed on the grass

next to my broken tire swing.

 

I suppose you could say

one could live their life like this

and be considered a Genius

or Insane...

 

But through all my travels

I found that my biggest adventure

was stepping from my raft of Childhood

and onto the shore of Life.

 

However, sometimes I think things were more simple when I was a child
