From dizzying heights
the view entices,
a freedom beckoning,
to join
the merry-go-round
of monotony.
There's an urge to belong
to this melee
of disorder,
as fast pace
and glory
define inner cravings.
Yet as passions within
surge to release,
eyes are drawn
to sights
of allure and grace,
where soul may rest
in tranquility.
With wisdom
and knowledge
in a jaded world,
she sees beyond
to a life
of fuliflled purpose.
