BALANCE

I walk on the edge

Without balance I will fall.

Thus balance is everything.

It lets me continue,

Weighing alternatives

Simply hold on,

Remaining in place

is not balance but stagnation.

Can I hover along that edge?

 Can I leave the safe harbor?

When is choice?

 A moment too soon?

or moment too late.?

I must not hesitate.

The trick, human magic,

now to be performed

is finding the balance

between what I wish to be;

versus what I want to be.

In that moment of hesitation,

on that sharp edge of my world,

perhaps I must accept who I am.
