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 the world!

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 the challenging world!
