Risk
Caution can be a cane
on poorly
lit paths,
Fear will send you back
to the perch
having you tie the tether yourself
Yet, without warning
a glacier’s roar may have you
jump over the candlestick
Be ready

Wow !
Every syllable…..wow
The second stanza
Is still echoing in my chest.
Thank you for your comments!
Thanks for the heads up! I sure wasn’t ready for the last stanza.
Thanks for your comments—that eve this was due–I was feeling a little dire minded working on that last stanza and kept changing it around and and then it was getting too close to midnight and it had to go in as it was…I was feeling something but the words–you know those sneaky things–were not with me—It may change again in the future–we will see? (June will never be the same after this experience with LexPoMo!)
“Caution can be a cane
on poorly
lit paths,”
I like this personification of Caution.
What you say is true, and we need the reminder!
