Slow motion strides
With a purpose,
Their heads turning in unison

Searching, stalking prey
Onlookers can’t turn away
This pair, like a movie

Too beautiful yet something
Hypnotically defiant
Bending, using time

A dimension all their own
In ours almost dreamlike
The flip side of life

A promise of more
Fear drawing us in
Desiring immortality

Commercials sell it
The appeal is real
Defying death
At any cost

You captured the subtle induction into the belief of possible perfection very well, Connie.

Impressive.

I quite agree with you synopsis here, Connie. Although we all understand that death is our last hooray, we secretly don't really think we will. I am quite old enough to have already caught the death train, but I am in reasonable health thanks to the miracle drugs. And inside my thoughts is a non-acceptance of dying. Ahhh . . . Would that I had a painting like Dorian Gray had. Heh.Heh
