“And this gray spirit
yearning in desire
To follow knowledge
like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound
of human thought. ”

emotional tic
tears for every occasion
a heartfelt response
feelings that reflect instincts
sensations keeping life real

Poem:
.
amazed to see dancing elephants
not your usual vision of elegance
minds that create wonderful fantasy
learning your own meaning of insanity
excessive pride leads to vanity
is there really such a thing as normal
the happiest are those who live informal
the young do not have an exclusive on vernal
forget resentments, let go and let God
there isn’t a soul that is not flawed
to those who are due, stand and applaud
the winners always think positive
leaders communicate in the demonstrative
you can never be too old to be cognitive
for only the best, profound respect is reverent
gloriously unique, everyone is different
know that this world is absolutely magnificent
awe struck by the breaching of whales
a joy to be entertained by fantastic tales
