We are Adventurers

By Jon, Will, Fiona, Sandy, Charlotte, Madeline, Jan, Lorraine

Under the wrap of cold air on my lungs,

This is what it feels like to be a miner.

Pain and fear, no blurring,

Let me out of here –

Will I die before I reach the door?

We are adventurers

Human, mechanical,

Pounding music,

Stepping into space

Without shaking,

Vanishing into black,

We are adventurers

Chatty ballet of curiosity,

Spicy, heady, voluptuous, earthy, exotic,

This place, these people

Crowded in,

Intensely alone,

We are adventurers
