Madness

from the ABC set Is This Really Happening?

Mind, try harder
To explain,
All those phantoms
That wax and wane.
Ridicule not the possibility
Of the unreal
Or the sometimes sane.
Warrant not,
Nor condemn,
If I be a player
If this be a game.

Must we always explain?
Sometimes you need just take no notice.
Other times be awed by the sheer majesty.

Trying to reason with the unreasonable can make you feel mad. I think this poem is open to many different interpretations, or might mean very little at all. All depends on your own personal experiences of feeling mad lol.
Thanks for feedback, I like it, I like it.

What a short, sharp beauty this is. I like it a lot.
