She stands in balance
upon her fragile shadow
posed to walk on eggs.

What can I say? -- Sounds like a place we've all been to at least one time in our life.

nakdthoughts,
   I'm glad you "likes."  I went to be thinking about this person and woke up with these words on my tongue.  Then, it was a mad rush to the computer before I forgot them.
                Sadie

Sunshine,
   Thank you for your kindness.  I just hope she realizes this one is for her.  She has hidden strength, much like the egg.
                  Sadie

Professor,
   Thanks for dropping in with your poetic science lesson.  You know how much I enjoy.
                  Sadie

iliana,
   At least once!  Take care.  I'm glad to hear from you again.  We miss your writing.  When things slow down, perhaps?

                  Sadie
muted,
   I'm glad you enjoyed.  I'm forward to your next post.
                   Sadie      

earth angel,  
   I appreciate your sweet comment.  I hope this beautiful Spring day finds you recouperating well.  Take care.
                  Sadie

This Diamond,
   Yes, a very strong oval dome!
                 Sadie      

Nightshade,
   You may have exaggerated a bit, but I'll enjoy the flattery!  Thank you.
                 Sadie

Martie,
   I suppose we all feel that way at times.  Luckily those times go more frequently than they come.  Thank you for your sweet response.
                 Sadie

Being Easter, dear Sadie, I can't help thinking that she might not know that if the eggs break, she might just be walking on sweet chocolate splitters ... and have a brand new vision of sweetness.
A very sharp vision of yours.
Love and hugs. Margherita

Margherita,
   True.  
   I think the structure of eggs (many of them stood erect, just so, would support her.  I've read about the strength, but don't remember how much weight they can actually support.  It is astounding.  Now, just to walk forward with that advancing shadow...Thank you for your continued kindness.
                Sadie
