Tightrope

Let me go
Let me walk that tightrope
Balancing between life and Afterlife, self and Service

Let me breathe easy
the piercing cold air,
Though it may shock my veins

Let me walk away from you
Without a safety net nor harness
Trusting only the balancing pole

The balance that keeps me centred
Focused
Peace


Walk away, for I cannot turnaround
The balance will be thrown off
And fall I shall

Step by step
One foot in front of the other
Moving forward, away

Call not for me
Your voice will only shatter the fragile
Tears that blur - I cannot afford

Leave me be
I am not alone
Nor lonely, for I know He is there.

In the thoughts that centre my soul
in the breeze against my skin
He is the Destined Truth

He is there even if I fall
So close your eyes and trust in Him
Turn your back on me and walk away...
