My imagination dances
on a tightrope,
high above the crowd,
amid the twinkling lights
of wonder.
My balance pole
is intuition,
my strength
poetic vision.
I must not look down.

Ida Werret

I love this, Ida, and the sustained high-wire imagery! Very cleverly done, as always. A very beautiful fusion of philosophy and poetic art!

No, forever look ahead and above, never down. A short, but penetrating poem, Ida.

What a rush! My goodness, I just loved this - and I hope you don't mind if I put it in my library!
