Free Fall

Plain imagination.

An orange blob of mass was sinking,

Leaving its adherence to the horizon

The wind was gently blowing

Lifting my long brown tresses

I looked upon the death canyon

And took upon my daring mission.

I was to jump and fall,

And fall.

Till my lungs would tear apart,

I would scream and fall.

And fall.

My spirit ascended.

I took the plunge, notwithstanding my fear

Of my life so dear.

Through my veins was coursing

A new bolt of energy.

The peak was diminishing

Slow and tardily.

In all this spirit,

I disremembered what came next.

I did not care, I did not scare.

I kept falling.

I fancied failing into an ocean.

But that was too late to wish for, then.

I didn't see what was below.

I didn't struggle, I just let go.

I let gravity work upon me.

I let fate decide me.

I could feel the difference,

When traversing varied atmosphere layers.

It was hot, then cold

Then hot and then cold again.

I was in a situation

Where feign or pain

Had no meaning or deviation.

I could take down a cloud with me

They looked like whipped cream

In abundance, everywhere and free.

Suddenly, I stopped falling.

I was cohering to a rope that bound me

I had used every bit of the rope

That gave me my life support and held me.

I could fall more but I couldn't.

My little adventure had ended.

Of leveling spirit and free fall.

Was this inspired by a "falling dream"? Regaurdless, THIS WAS EPIIIIIIIC!!!!! Very discriptive, thoughout, and just, (in a sense) care free. I felt sooooo relaxed when i was reading this. EPIIIIIIIIIC JOB!!! XD

You've been holding back on me!!!!

This was absolutely epic! The tone is so perfect...hesitant and anxious. Perfectly done my friend!!

You had me from the beginning to the very end. Perfect shape, the title was well thought out, smooth flow and point progression....this was magnificent work! Reading this made me really feel the longing to "free fall" and for a fleeting moment i was trapped into this ingenious web you spun here. I felt sad to get to the end m'dear:)

This was drop dead FANTASTIC...I'm listing you in my favorites Goof:)
MAD PROPS!!!!

Fav line:

"I did not care, I did not scare."
