Tightrope Walk by Jessica Wheeler
Minute Poetry writing prompt entry

 

The winds of trepidation blow

Threaten to throw

 
Choose not one side
 
Maintain your stride

 
 
Concern not only what you please
 
An ego's breeze
 
Grows if allowed
 
See through its cloud

 
 
Steady the tightrope walk each day
 
Lean with that sway
 
With balance, find
 
Your peace of mind
