Networking: Part Deux

Gravity snatches the peach
the shimmering green of Spring

The clarity of vision on the beach
prodigal clouds that whistle and sing



Lurid skyscrapers and paved ways
the forced fusion of nails and steel

The fragrant warmth of the sun's rays
the rare romantic quality we yearn to feel



Pain, glee, past, present all tied together
the animated harmony of a distant forest

Spinning, crashing, colliding forever
life, love, loss, rebirth chanting the endless chorus.

de.vile - Thank you for the compliments! Do drop by again.

cj - Thank you. I was trying to capture the full spectrum. Not sure if it worked.

**silvermOOn** - Thank you for the comment. I definitely don't mind critiques or criticism. I enjoy experimenting with different forms, and I think I hemmed myself in a bit with this one.
