An excerpt from “Quietly Shouting- A Collection of Observational Poetry”
Shimmering, shining, ball of light
Escaping my fingertips.
It's luminous,

And it’s still just beyond my reach.

Making faces on these walls.

Casting silhouettes of their falls.

Paraded through these halls.
From all things that are higher

But altitude sickness sets in quickly,
When they think they've seen it all.
Yet all I see are shadows.
And shadows never fall…..
