Fighting Fright

“Jumping Diving” - a magical vision by Maddox-Harle

Captures an overcast mysterious moment likely in fall

Chill in the air shrunk bravest feathered creatures tall

Sent shivers up the spine of tiny birds and seagulls small

Robert mused on the accidental deaths and injured

Shirked off the dreadful images imagination conjured

Focused on love of adventurous spirit he poured

His captured shot livens up lazy, busy and also bored

Deep depths beneath the jetty forebode

Belie the calm of still waters under weathered board 

No warnings can stop spirited freeing flights

It makes warned danger less real, more light

Frozen in colorful Black and white

Timeless scene weaves shadow and light

Thanks to Robert's click bright

It neutralizes fears of heightened fright.
