Audacity

As they throw their shapes recklessly
it’s their audacity that sets then apart.
They are rule breakers, almost foolhardy.

We admire their shadow puppetry
the abandonment of their art.
As they throw their shapes recklessly

they know, almost with certainty
how far to stretch our aching heart.
They are rule breakers, almost foolhardy

dancing around eternity
juggling with air and light.
As they throw their shapes recklessly

their effortless dexterity
makes our tired eyes dart.
They are rule breakers, almost foolhardy.

Although we suspect trickery
we are not them, could not scale their height.
As they throw their shapes recklessly
they are rule breakers, almost foolhardy.
