Lisa, this is a great expression of faith.
You captured the spirit of the subject and released its essence in a poetic spray that complemented that spirit.
Beautifully done.

Congratulations on winning the Faith contest with this striking ensemble. I particularly admired your alliteration of "s's" and "wire" metaphor. Here's to a productive, new week- Joan

Thank you so much for the vote of confidence in my poem.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
You have the most incredible knack for being able to find strength and resolve deep within yourself. You have been knocked down, but you have never stayed down, and that is the most laudable and admirable of qualities. To me, this poem is the perfect representation of all that and the remarkable person I consider you to be. xo

Who? Me? Impostor syndrome... fake it till you make it... shuffle, shuffle. I feel honoured that you have deigned to notice what a stratospherically superior scion of ability I am. Back atcha. x

Copy cat.

Or is it Birds of a feather flock together?

I just think that might be so. Cheep, cheep (why don't birds go: expensive, expensive?)

You're obviously operating on very little sleep this morning.
Btw, do you know why Mozart killed his chickens? Because he was sick to death of hearing them say, "Bach, Bach, Bach."

Did he end up Chopin their heads off??

Yes!! It made them Liszt to one side!

They'll just have to Handel it better.

They've got to become better at Haydn.

Damn... you stole my next retort!!!
Well, I'm off to put Debussy outside now.
Comment from Dean Kuch
Good example of consonance and alliteration with, "the wire hums hymns of hope," Anonymous Poet.
This also portrays a tangible form of faith in order that we can wrap our minds around the concept in utilizing the tight rope walker and balancing pole.
Good entry, well presented.
Good luck!

Thanks for reviewing. We all need to hang onto something to keep our balance in life. Some of us know to choose faith. Even baby steps will get us to the other side.
Comment from Irish Rain
Beautiful faith poem entry Miss Lisa.
Something to remember when I'm faced
with the choice of quitting, or going forward.
I never walk the tightrope alone.
Lovely, Blessings...

Thanks for your very generous words and rating. Much appreciated. We all should trust His unseen guiding hand in perilous places, to keep us balanced and looking forward.

Absolutely!
Comment from Gail Denham
This poem describes so many of us - at least me - I worry a lot. This poem speaks to me about that worry. "I won't look down". We're told to "rejoice evermore" - "don't worry about anything" - and God backs up His promises.
Your poem made me think.

I hope you didn't have to think TOO hard too early in the morning! God will help us to cross the abyss to a safer place if we trust him.
Thanks for reviewing.

Wonderful use of metaphors. I love the positive aspect of your poem. Never say die and never give up. Truly well composed and meaningful.
Love it.

Just keep shuffling along when it gets scary. Thanks so much for your lovely comments. I really appreciate them.
Comment from Carla Trinklein
Now I have clammy palms. I can't watch tightrope walkers. Reading about one isn't any better! :) This is a different twist on the faith theme! Yes, a tightrope walker would make his living based on his faith in himself...and his co-performers, and in God. Your premise is creative and I'm guessing you'll do very well in this contest.
