Yes the repetition of 5-7-5 has an ancient chime
Thanks Mourganna

dramatic & stunning places,
separate; joined by the links...

Thanks JF I wanted to show a man's journey with the just so haiku quality

This places a grand vision ... Black and White film. The Russian acrobats. Performing, stunning illusions. Painted white faces, rosy red checks and lips. Elegant Whale.

yes your words are a blessing this life is a high wire act... and then it not

yes I was thinking about breaking free and the discipline needed just to carry on with even everyday responsibilities (and those even more than every day pressures) as we flew over a rainbow as we came to the shore

In addition to the above comments, I just want to add that I enjoyed how you cleverly started each stanza with a variation of the final word in the preceding stanza. Its like the moment changing meaning into the next moment, and so forth - a zen like quality of acceptance in chance and adaptation in meaning. Well done, Brother.

a kind observation dear sister

You've looped each haiku perfectly Whale, end of a word, beginning of the next (as they say, one ending is another beginning)  taking it higher, literally and figuratively, beautifully crafted.

thanks Vee - I wanted to return the tension between form and substances to see what truth is forced out

..your word play and verbiage is magnificent in this piece! Thoroughly enjoyed the read, whale! :)

Thanks Rain - love that you enjoyed it

I see that the tightrope is some
sort of component in ascension?

to avoid going through something
again.. .those places he already
knows, and have found a better
scenic route

that's where this one took me love,
you are incredible

yes a tension in ascension - Maugham's Razor's Edge
And then you realise it was not it was as Dean said below a Serengeti serenade - or at least I bloody hope so😉
