Balancing up on high
If I look down, the fear courses through without abandon
It doesn't mean this is easy
I refuse to continue down the road of yesterday
Although the journey may take awhile, these wings are forgiving
© June 28, 2007 Keri S.
This wire is thinner than it used to be
Nothing holding me up of my own
Complete reliance on the wings floating beneath me
If I look around, it's hard to see you, hard to breathe
If I look too far ahead, I falter and almost lose it all
The only option is to look up and softly close my eyes
Taking each step in unrestrained faith
If it was, I wouldn't be here in the first place
There's no room for pride
There's no space for selfishness
Everything I do from this point on is in surrender
And I'm not quite ready to be on the path of tomorrow
All I can do is inch my way across this skeletal wire
It's the only way to go from one to the other
Allowing me moments to stumble so they can raise me higher than before
I can't do this alone, and I believe that's the point
Bringing me one more step forward on an incredibly thin line
I give in and give up to Faith's steady hands all that used to be mine
Hoping and praying that someday I'll be graced with those blessings again.
