Dropping into the rocky foothills of the Himalayans, the veil of thin air expanding into lungs.  Rib cage rises and falls with each and every breath.  Body beaten, muddled mind, climbing, searching.  Safely navigating through the ravines, blazing through the isolated ranges. Rocks, Valleys, Plateaus, RISING, f-a-l-l-i-n-g, PlaTEAu.  Pressing on, chasing, idealistic, young dreamer.  Wandering nomad living just for today.  Leathered face, worn and weathered.  Wise.  Fabrics of golden yellows, chartreuse and claret, ragged and worn adorn.  Not pressed by goals or achievements concerned with the spiritual.  United.  Connection misfired, unity impractical a relationship based on fiery desire.  Outstretched hands giving strength to the other, in passing, a moment of time. Creating a much needed connection. Gone in the blink of an eye a moment in time.  Sweet and blissful for just a moment. Tired. Never fully understanding, not aware, unconscious, once mysterious now discovered.  Substance or Excessive?  Exhausted.  Opaque becomes transparent.  Ashes fall, burned, rising up, soaring, untouchable, Phoenix.  Eternal.  RED
