Rock On

In celebration of the release of "Yeah!" by Def Leppard, here's one from Poems from the 90s -

stamp upon the stone an’ dusted earth
run ahead with your arm outstretched
finger pointin’ towards the sun,
halo light falls upon your shoulders
as you kung fu flick you way
into the primary blue of borderless space,
all physical aspect dismounted
infinity signposted an’ death well done,
no trace left behind whatsoever

water spirits applaud the act
mountain gods take off their hats,
for they see well from resting high
in the league of universal knowledge,
banners flutter lightly in the breeze
an’ butter lamps flicker to the dream
of a thousand holy meditations,
symbolic of the fact you didn’t jack
