Balance


Balance...                                        

It is always there
hanging in the balance.
The here and the now
waiting to be siezed.

Weighing the consequences
teetering on the edge
of sanity
only a thread keeping you afloat

with each step comes
another revelation
on the uncertain
tightrope of life.

One wrong misstep
the endless plunge
trusting
hoping
knowing
that no matter what

the inability to make
any more
becomes your heaviest load
the agony of hanging in the
balance
larger than life
living for others

waiting for the line
to snap for you
when really
all you have to
do is leap
and trust
and
the
rest
will
come

with pain
tolerable pain
and change
very real
and
honest
and
open
change...
