Life is a delicate balance
Or is it
Really?
Haven’t you ever
Pushed the limits
Of your body
Your mind
Your spirit
To find
You are still standing
Or you got back up
We waste so much of our precious time
Playing it safe
Normal
Acceptable
For the remainder of my life
I will push myself to the limit
I will dance on the edge of the table
Crystal candelabras be damned
If I should fall
I will get back up
But the universe respects boldness
And I believe it will cheer me on
Allowing me to teeter boldly
On the edge
Exploring “what if’s”
And “why nots”’
Until I slide sideways into the next life
Where I will not make the
Same mistake
Of living securely, safely,
Seated at the table
No
I will boldly live teetering
On the tables edge of possibility
Crystal candelabras be damned
