Creep

Stretching outwards,
  knees,
stretched tight;
  The wind beneath you,
  as you journey through this flight...

Soaring downward,
   releasing the free;
Moment suspended,
        only,
for you to see...

Shaking off the water,
   in the cold winter night;
  Floating, unnoticed;
As you focus upon the light...

    The treasure of not knowing,
the anticipation, of no belief;
   Slowly, through the darkness,
     you creep...

Interesting verse...what are we talking about here? Reminds me of My "Bang Bang Someone's Dead"... Good write no matter the night swim. Cynthia

Actually, it is. It's a suicide flight from a bridge over the colorado river.. just thought's on the cusp of death, that moment into the crossover. I hope to have maybe have 2 more parts to it eventually. Thank you for reading; TC
