Double Diamond
by Keith D AllisonThe dream shape
in the gray mass
Sweet the illusion
can the reality find Bloom
They say the heart
can not stand ride
the drumbeats, will heart pound
one to many times
13 miles to reach the clouds
feel the wind
touched the sky
divinity wraps, the wings of a ride
The pain now over the halfway mark
lift the aluminum
let the rubber touch the ground
Sweet like honey the downhill eye
See the single track among the boulders
Black diamond oh Black diamond
is this the Angels ride
Time does wither the sweet life does fly
Don't be careless
let the adrenaline flow
see the eagle fly
I have grown old, will I know another ride

can the reality find Bloom" ahhhh, nice and can it? no.no.no. no reality is as pretty, soft, willowy and oooomph as an illusion, good work keith.
