Life's Thin Wire Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Taking moments of life into dreams being dreamt in the
middle of the night.

Lights are continually shining on hopes and promises
that have been given to us since childhood.

Answers never fully being given, yet we continue our
quests by asking an infinite amount of questions,
curiosity always being at the forefront of every en-
deavor.

Grasping at straws, holding onto lifelines offered by
other people, hoping for a reprieve from the turmoil
always kept in hand.

Loss, sadness, emptiness, all of them leading to aband-
onment, giving us no sense of direction or security in
life.

Always walking the thin wire of a trapeze, never knowing
when we are going to fall off and our life be over.
