Tightrope
Speculate the end
Quietly as you lay
No connotation
Just reality.
A motivating glimpse.
What can be
Is never what one has.
All I have
Will never be so bad.
I’m rich in exposure.
The experience lives on.
Born for me
To die for others.
Learning and appreciating.
The past is quicksand.
The future is a dream.
Walk the tightrope that isn’t,
So long as you just look up.

The past is quicksand./The future is a dream.” You said a lot with those two sentences!
I really appreciate that! I wish I could say I had a methodology for writing, but it just sort of comes to me when it does. Sometimes, it’s just like a message that’s recieved and understood.
Lovely imagery and a persuasive voice. Nicely done, Brady.
Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to read my poem!
