The High-Wire Act of Love

Walking a thin wire
way up high above
whichever way you lean
you just might fall in love.

At times there's nothing better
the feelings are so great
mistakes do sometimes happen
when love has turned to hate.

It's hard for some to figure
why everything did change
but love is an enigma
and sometimes even strange.

So get back on the wire
better balanced than before
another chance at falling
for a love that will endure!

An "enigma", indeed! A great piece...and piece of advice, Mark.
