Free Fall

For Ulysses
Inspired by Paul Taylor's music; "Free Fall".

Never far from our sorrow and pains,
The tears of anguish; Siamese Twins with tears of joy.
A thin veil of indifference and sanity protects our joy
from life's sobering realities.
A life leads through many sorrows.
Living it reveals many joys,
So easily overwhelmed emotionally
As we reach out to grasp those moments of peace;
Blissful and tranquil,
Touching the dream,
Planting the memory deep inside the soul;
A seed of light,
A glimpse of hope,
A place of peace,
A free fall,
Unbound by cares & responsibilities.
To touch these times of joy,
These are the treasures of a life.
They provide us a foundation to stand on to live a life.
These blissful memories, they give us strength & sanctuary
In a life that will consume us,
Emancipating the bonds of our responsibility to living,
Setting us free.
