Ariel
Ariel
"With the eyes of a child I stare in awe, a wondrous sight I take in all
Angels flying without wings, hurling through the air, spinning and twirling without a care
People moan and gasp as they pass, praying the next move will not be their last
For daredevils they are one and all, but there is no net in which to catch their fall
Suddenly, the signal is given - Quiet now Quiet, all eyes aloft, for the final act is here so we draw near
With synchronous harmony they let themselves fly, swinging and looping high into the sky
Spinning like tops they make a final pass, reaching hands grasp hands in this Ariel dance
Bows are taken and the crowd erupts in raucous roars, we toast to the high flyers - May They Soar Forever More"
-Jon Jones
