Risking attacks,
I learn from my life’s moments
Of threat and drama…
Where the drop ends,
And the crown starts.

Where the heap turns
Into a mountain shadow,
Or a shimmer
Of vibrant colours and gold.

Unerringly, when to leave
All at once!
Or, live on…
Under a hue of umbrellas,
And explore my challenging world!
