Hold Tight

This contraption of your mind's design
Moves in strict and narrow lines,

Its inner workings sure defined by
Steady hands and solid spine.

Yet steady hands turn heavy and
Due plans are re-devised.

Calling now for massive size the
Structure proposed is ill-advised,

But you can't see or recognize
To heed the echoed warning signs.

Deaf and blind, your mind's confined
To thinking far and hoping wide.

Beyond your grasp the present shines,
Outside of all these structured lines.

When heavy hands put down the pen,
Nature picks it up again.
