Secondary School Poetry Jumble

She may walk among 
untrodden ways.
But beware,
your trips and slips,
face first slides into reality
Not always your own doing
Is ever present 
Always lurking.

Tight rope walking over well 
worn paths.
Danger lurks in the familiar. 
He who made the lamb made 
thee.
The falcon trusts the falconer
And so returns with retracted 
claws. 
Like we must return the 
innocence
We stole from whom
but could not use. 

Some do it with a lethal sword
The familiar prefer a kiss
All to exact a balance of power
Be careful for what you wish.
