So much shared
Across the impossible
The intangible
Beings randomly colliding
Joining in
Choreographed formation

A perfect distillation
Combusting very much
Against convention
Leap-frogging with
Childlike surety
Entwined in
Unspoken destiny

Baiting dragons
With swaggering nonchalance
Formidable challenges
Heaven sent

The footsore feet
Feel sweet relief
As they release
Gravity
In pursuance
Of Life’s natural
Obsession-void
Addiction-void
High.

A dizzy concoction, a manic, then sublime, dance - whether read in colour or monochrome.

Hi Walrus

I love the feeling this gives, of being swept away - enjoyably so. The use of language and the imagery are a joy. I don't know if it's just me, but it put me in mind of sky divers - the ones that do formation jumping, or whatever the technical name for it is.

Either way I thought it was brill!

cheers

Hi Spud

Sky diving - yes! Absolutely! That was exactly the sort of feeling I wanted to convey. Thanks!
