BALANCING

BALANCING

Whilst walking these precariously unbalanced

Worlds of ours

A world that tosses, turns and churns

This way that way

Inside and outside

Shakes us agitates us too

The blend of sorrow and pain array

In the array of entitlements

Wants and needs

There stands a stance

For instance

Walking precariously with doubt fear

And tears

That the future is never clear

Clear cut without doubt

A shadow of a doubt

So we walk the walk

Without the talk

Until we see the hero, heroine

Within

The bravest of the bravest souls

Bravest of hearts

With our own beauty and grace
