One Step Further
Balancing on a tight rope
That soon will be her past
It’s all she can hope for
Wishing it would last.
Arms spread across miles
Swaying back and forth
She reaches for the sky
Fear not in her blue eyes.
A balancing act of pain
Her legs often curse her
No time to complain
She takes, one step further.
