YOU AND ME

You and me, we both
are born tight-rope walkers
balancing the act
of living precariously.
We are trained
to look upwards
towards the blue sky
and the airiness of being.
One glance downwards
could annihilate and
start the spiral to disaster.

Lift your balance stick,
use it, my love!
Keep listening
to the cheers around us.
We both will meet in the middle
changing places effortlessly.
Juggling comes easy when
decisions are dreamlike.
When we reach
the end of the rope
on either side
in beautiful unison,
our somersaults downward
are spectacular
and the clapping
is for the indomitable spirit only.
