Tightrope (An Original Poem)

@ericvancewalton · 2018-11-26 21:29 · poetry

These lines on my face now reveal the many lives I’ve lived, unrehearsed.

Countless missteps have afforded me the freedom to know them for what they are... and all they aren't.

Afterall, flailing attempts to reach the other side are far better than wishes held in boxes, tucked high upon some dusty shelf.

So, I’ll keep walking this tightrope of fickle modernity, whilst whistling my song, and hoping for many more of the sort of lessons that only
living can teach.
