Limitations
Unhindered by gravitational thought
limiting possibility, or ability
children defy boundaries and fly.
Until an adult protests, explains
gravity, infinity, and mortality,
bringing physics into play.
Their effort to protect
destroys dreams, soring wings,
and replaces them with reality.
This locks infinite potential into
tiny chambers in the mind
forever after remembered
only as flashes of iridescent thought.
