Dancing on One Leg

Dancing on one leg, 
On one leg we live with agony. 
Agony shapes our wobbly footsteps.
Footsteps made into inaudible power. 

Power blossoms through a series of gaffes. 
Gaffes in life we must encounter.
Encounter the collapse,
Collapse that let us instill how to soar

Soar through tornadoes. 
Tornadoes that hover steadiness
Steadiness leading to respire hesitation. 
Hesitation converts into intensity.

Intensity that coals irrepressible souls. 
Souls molded by cracks 
Cracks that find cadence in the obscure. 
Obscure leads to dawn
Dawn still pirouetting on one leg
