a true tightrope-walker
on a rope
above the clouds,
walking an unbreakable thread, with open arms
making music and me,
eagerly,
listening and watching
the heights from my seat
on the edge of my chair
excitement and rushing
to pay for a ticket again
to see the act again
a true tightrope-walker
up above the clouds
the muses keep the wire tight
we’re balanced on our doubts
moving step by step
on this unbreakable thread
open arms waving
up beyond the dead
and me eagerly listening
and me eagerly watching
the heights above my seat
on the edge of my chair excitement rushing
to buy another ticket
and see the act again
