False Dreams

As if flying in a manner
both swift and slow,
graceful and absurd,
he leapt abandoned
to descent into madness
as the sky disappeared beneath
and false wings folded.
In ensuing insanity
perplexing and tumultuous
incongruities in conclusions
delayed re-entry to systems
with contemptuous motive.
While laboring under illusions
of that lost society's offer
and accepting the vital transplant,
in faith his spirit restored.
