Walking the Tightrope
Eyes fixed on the destination
I step out
The tightrope begins to sway
As I redistribute my weight
Looking down
Nothing beneath to break my fall
I step out
The tightrope begins to sway
As I redistribute my weight
Looking down
Nothing beneath to break my fall
I see you
Step by step
Further from safety
Not close enough to security
Winds rising, crowd roaring
Distractions wage war against ambition
I hear you
Your words bring balance
I tread more confidently
Onto the bridge of your encouragement
With end in sight
You bid me to come
I feel you
An outstretched hand
A leap of faith
Which isn't too daunting
When you have someone to hang onto

Post a CommentOoops...I meant Beautiful! Sorry.
Beautifully!
"Distractions Wage War against ambition" was my favorite line.
You captured some of my thoughts at times, great :) Sheri
Ditto all.
Oops I meant to say you have effectively captured the anxiety we all sometimes feel.
Wow. I have definitely walked the tight rope sometimes and have been overwhelmed with the anticipation for something to happen quickly. You have effectively the anxiety we all sometimes feel.
I love this! One of your best pieces.
Takes a lot of bravery to take the road less taken. Even more bravery for the tight rope!
This really hit home. I believe that every person who chooses to follow their dreams must walk this tightrope at some point or another.
