The boundless leap

'I' am never alone

Yet the Mind yearn

To possess all that I love

Those that I cannot own

 

I reach out for the sky

Leap to seize the Sun

Though frail are my wings

and so weak is my leap

 

One more lesson I learn

One more trip and overturn

I bite the golden dust

and kiss my own failing feet

 

I rise up to lament

It's out of reach, I cry

I lick my bloodless wounds

and hug my bundle of rich rags

 

I keep counting my lessons

Not knowing the simple truth

that the ape never leashed

Is neither not released

 

Once released, 'I' soar

No limits no more

Boundless my belongings

Not a thing 'I' own
