ON YOUR KNEES

sometimes you must stand on your feet

but know when you should kneel

and not be blinded by the sun

but take the warmth you feel
.

there is a balance in all things

the fulcrum is your soul

you have to know what things are lost

and what you can control
.

it's hard absorbing comfort

when you're wary of mere touch

have you been on your knees too long

or standing way too much ?
.

in friendships there are circles formed

much stronger than a line

but when you set up boundaries

it's harder to define
.

the blanket when unraveled

will not keep away the cold

you have to know who you should cut

and who you need to hold
.

your armor keeps out danger

but true joy you'll never clutch

have you been on your knees too long

or standing way too much ?
