Do I Dare?

Motivation slows 

while it stays inside me 

locked away, carefully set 

behind glass like some kind 

of caged bird 

that cannot be touched by this 

all to human heart and hand

Do I dare?

Dare to push aside 

all of the shiny distractions?

But then comes the 

What if’s and Should do’s

Daring me to open the glass cage,

to let motivation to fly free 

within this all to human heart and hand.

“No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.”

~ William Blake, poet

 (1757 - 1827)
