...In Free fall

 


surrounded by worlds

 

which hurtle past, so fast

 

it steals your breath

 

and leaves you cold...

your life

 

 

suspended by threads

the moments apprehension

exploding in your face

 

then fades, almost...

 

as soon as it

unfolds

 

 

and the thrill

 

of living on the edge

 

makes it feel

 

you are going...

 

 

faster than life

but from where you are

you can see

on and on

 

almost forever


the sensation is...

so amazing,


the expectations

bear such a piteous shadow

of the exhileration

that you feel

you satisfy yourself, knowing

this is real

and justify your zeal

with exaltation

at a loss

when it comes to explantions

just how it feels

so you let it suffice to say

...GREAT!

the sensation

of exuuberance

beyond the fantasy

 

to remain aloft...

it seems as if

...almost...

indefinitely

floating

 

 

effortlessly

 

and

 

never, so much

 

 

as a worry

you will ever

touch the ground

flying high

 

you

 

can hardly

 

keep it all together

 

like the steady

 

stream

 

of fleeting images

 

of moments

 

coming seemingly

 

without end...

 

as you struggle to keep

 

yourself, in check...

 

you make

 

incidental friendships

 

in effort to connect...

 

the now,

 

from the jet lag

 

IN your conscious mind...

 

of the world

 

of what

 

you've

 

left behind

 

gone as if

 

the trail of memories

 

falling away ... swiftly

 

as your velocity seems to increase

 

more with each successive

 

heartbeat...

 

as images

 

which

 

play within your mind

 

have come and gone...

 

almost, at will...

 

faster than

 

the time it took

 

to recognize

 

their presence

 

they moved on by...

 

like a shooting stars

 

to flash and pass ...into the night

 

just as soon, becoming

 

lost from sight

 

almost

 

an afterthought

 

as you look back at your life...

 

but the momentum

 

pulls you, right back in

 

and in the thoughts

 

just as...

 

you find yourself

 

...you're lost again...

 

when at first

 

glance

 

your reactions

 

were right in line

 

with where you were

 

soon you begin

 

to realize...

 


the unparalleled thrill

 

of flying high

 

and fast

 


it no longer

 

seems to matter

 

whether, you will last...

 

just that, at this moment

 


that you're looking up

 

into the stars

 

and reaching for

 

the heavens

 

with your eyes

 

compared to

 

what you

 

have forever known

 

as the everyday

 

...grind

 

losing your

 

mind

 

while running

 

blind

 

so even though

 

your feet

 

don't touch

 

the ground...

 

you feel comfortable

 

because,

 

you're flying high

 

everything

 

flies past, so fast

 

even

 

your perspective

 

becomes lost

 

in another

 


until, you realize

 

'that...

 

you're out of gas...

 

and down, you go...

 

surrounded, by people

 

who are

 


already grounded,

 


so they

 

don't need

 

to look down

 

at the things

 

you do...

 

to have

 

seen countless others,

 

losing all

 

and getting burned...

 

wondering,

 

to themselves

 

have they lost

 

their minds...

 


when will they never learn

 


still,

 

as unconceivable

 

as it may seem

 

to those lost in the dream

 


those, who're left behind...

 

don't wine and dine

 

they stay and pay

 


when

 

there's no time

 

to play...

 


they

 

have realized

 

the answer is to

 

keep time, relative to

 

the road they're on

 

they see the sky

 

for what it is...

 

a place to

 

dream...

 


except to apply to

 

a destination...

 


not, merely

 

an alternative

 

to what you perceive

 

as a mundane set

 

of compromises

 

to get to

 

the place

 

you really want

 

to be

 


And those, who love you

 

stand aghast... as you have failed

 

to realize the height

 


of your danger

 


even though,

 

you might

 

defend your choice

 

in anger...

 

although,

 

deep inside

 

you are aware

 

and tremble

 

even as you dare

 

to continue...

 

locked in a state of denial

 

blinded, in self deceit,

 

Even though

 

you're scared

 

holding on

 

as if you fail

 

to see

 

you've been

 

compromising

 

your ability

 

to

 

maintain stability

 


your friends...

 


are so

 

concerned,

 

about saving

 

your life

 

they

 

might even

 

fool themselves,

 

to persist in the belief

 

you will soon

 

come

 

to

 

and pull

 

the rip chord

 

of your senses

 

as you abandon

 

the pretenses

 

and awaken

 

to the reality

 


before,

 

its just too late

 

to save your

 

soul

 

and the

 

complete set

 

of your body

 

and mind

 

become splattered

 

lifeless...

 

nailed into

 

the ground

 

to end the sad story

 

this was the one

 

where what you think

 

is about having fun

 

when you're in...

 

IN free fall
