The parachutist leaps
From the tower
The ivory branch of the tree trunk
Demonstrating,
The ability to withstand
From the tower,
The ivory coast can be seen with its sand
And as your gracious host,
Allow me to pull back on your hand
It the thrill craves you the most
No one but you can understand
The tower from which I leap
Is planted firmly in the soil of hell
The quandary,
Which I find myself in
Is only one that time can tell
For if my boundary
Stretches this proverbial well
Then my bones shall be crushed
Under the pressures that quell
From the coast of the island
A tower,
Can be seen afar
The fire that is lit,
Burns bright on its pillar
A signal, a code,
Broken by all who look
The global symbol,
Of strength
A noble residual,
Left, from
Ancestors that wept
The tree at its base
Is a tree like none of its kind
A beast of a tree,
Enormous in size
Spanning the seas,
That separates its eyes
The tree of the tower
Is delighted to rise
On occasion,
And boldly describe
How it came to be
And why this high
The parachutist reaches
Clinging to a desperate branch
The love of it is,
He never gets the chance
The chute that he cherishes
Has abandoned his decent
The tower just stares and laughs
The coast that beckoned
Its sand blown to sea at last

| Wow! Loved it. The language and flow is quite provoking. The 2nd verse is particularly... communicating. |
