Without a Blindfold

tightroping
arms held out
horizontally centering
soul
heeltotoetoheel

all below
confining collectively
a deepest
inhale

afraid an exhale
will tipple over
the walker

that’s my day
how’s yours?

that is so how I felt yesterday...those tightrope days can be so out-of-balance, hope you find and even keel very soon!

Well done, btw!

Sometimes allow yourself to fall, there may be a bed of clover beneath you, we let stress take over much too often in our lives.
Enjoyed the read.

Heel to toe, Heel to toe, that is how just some days go. Hope you can balance life and stresses.

Stay well and keep writing.

me I got a trampoline.. makes fro an interesting day, never fall off.. some times i spend most of my day low other times really high and some times in the middle. WHat I have learned is

never have a full lunch when you need to jump really high or you could lose some on the way down.

Decaflame, I hope you got your safety net. enjoyed the read.
