Never look down

Walking the edge

The razor’s edge

Don’t look down

Look straight ahead

Smile

Play to the crowd

Keep moving - always

Riding the the gusts

Wait...

Use the bar

And walk

Smile

Look straight ahead

Walk the edge

Stop.

Turn around

Nothing below but the void

The ground

Disaster and death

Use the bar

Keep moving

Life is only worth living

When it's played to the crowd

Treading the wire

A gust

Momentary loss of control

The end.

Smile to the crowd

Look straight ahead

Balanced on a razor's edge

Never look down

Keep moving

Hi Tina.  Thank you.  I wasn't surprised to see your piece in Facebook.  I'd read it earlier and thought it had a lot.  Hope you're well.  Well done on the pick! x
