I timed my departure to coincide with the
lunar eclipse, but the
eastern horizon wasn't apparent,
in the park, or at the top of the road
my local high points
I scanned the firmament along with
other rando hopefuls but there was
no show to see so
onwards and upwards we went
as wine of a deep red hue
wasn't going to
buy or drink itself

Majestic summits
Concealed protectively in
Foggy clouds embrace,
Captivates wandering eyes,
On a tropic summer day

Childhood brought excitement when_to circus
I did go to see the show put on by
Ring master and those amazing folks.
Clowns_No! Those acrobats jumping up high.
Until that day I did not know life's call
So from then on my desire was to be
Acrobat, with practice and discipline learned
Career in acrobatics earned, now over
Ring 'pon wire, gliding along_like dancer
Or with agile moves choregraphed dance
Butterfly movements have audience dazed
All my dreams fulfilled when _people on me
Transfix, as my performance captivates
