Into the abyss I go, caught up in the moment. Into a fantasy of a thousand dangers, I jump into the night. Sailing beneath the stars in silences, I am sheathed in the wind as I fall from heaven to the earth below. In sparse light drawn to my eyes by glasses filled with magic, I see others like me dangling from fragile strings as we plunge into harms way. In a mere few moments, I settle down with my feet planted firmly on the earth. Like a being from another world I slip into the darkness, looking at the strange and alien land before me. Joining up with my near kin, we plunge forward into hidden danger. While others sleep, we walk in the night. We are watchers , protectors, soldiers going over the edge in a euphoric rush of silence to what ever threat lies ahead.
