Tightrope
April 26, 2018
Walking high,
Giving the illusion of floating,
of flying, effortless
Wavering, closing your eyes for a split second,
Tipping, tipping, falling,
Tumbling toward the ground
But the view is better from above, so you grab for a lifeline,
pulling yourself up again,
And far below,
the world applauds you.

This is symbolic of life; what seems like an imperfection to you might be owrthy of applause to others. It's also a circus act, something to be enjoyed but also something risky.
