Dancing on One Leg

Dancing on one leg, we learn to live with agony. 
Agony shapes our wobbly footsteps into inaudible power. 
Power blossoms through every gaffe we must encounter. 
Encounter the collapse, and let it instill in you how to soar

Soar through tornadoes that hover steadiness and respire hesitation. 
Hesitation converts into the intensity that coals irrepressible souls. 
Souls molded by cracks find cadence in the obscure. 
Obscure leads to dawn, still pirouetting on one leg
