Optimism

 colourless lives
in windowless worlds
dare to dream
of fearless existence
with boundless joy
 
a formless evil-lurks
around the corner
weightless gravity
pulls people down
renders them rootless
 
but roots in the sky
ethereal optimism
grows unabated
ageless wisdom
can’t be taken away
 
"cloudless skies
are addictive",
says a homeless lad,
"I often get breathless
with needless pursuits
 
-this is how I live
reckless, restless
awaiting my turn
to enter wordless
in a flawless world"
