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

A very interesting write, Connie. It is sometimes hard to look away, even when we claim to have NO interest in the scene in front of us.
