I would slow this descent
had I only the means
to defer that which comes
at the end of a fall.

Strive to find the right words
to convey what is seen
'fore this mood dissappears,
make some sense of it all.

But, the words are drowned out
by the rush of the wind,
as the eyesight grows blurred
and distorted by speed.

All attempts to relate
on one hope have been pinned
to the point of impact
for, the ink that I bleed's

a small pool, as it were,
quite like this "?", to be sure.

Read that three times before the real intent of it sunk in...

  outstanding work Doc!
