Premium Member sleeping at inlaws

hanging slipping falling dream

smashing waking hearing scream

wonder i dont snore

down here on the floor

guest beds like a balance beam.

Premium Member Immeasurable

I watched a young gold medalist 
Finish her routine 
On the balance beam.

I watched a young girl 
Walking barefoot 
On the smooth bark of a fallen tree. 

My heart soared at both 
It only knows one kind of joy 

Immeasurable

Fantasy Land

I see beyond the pages of a book, where stories are more then just words. Pictures come to life with every turn. Imagination takes control. As elephants dance and giraffes wear pants. monkey's eat ice cream or hippos walk the balance beam. A world full of fantasy and dreams. Beyond the pages, is what I see.

Life

Walking on a balance beam
 made of broken glass
My only get away
 was going to class
One step forward 
 two steps back
I couldn't walk away 
and i tried not to fall
But no one ever noticed 
That i had to try at all
No one ever cheered 
no one ever clapped 
So i took it as permission 
 I Stop balancing 
And I fell 
Straight back

Premium Member Wobble And Remount

Questioning my existence,
I feel myself responding 
to what’s in my head. 
Overthinking the next move?
A quick way to lose.

Not taking in what’s right here.
Moments shatter in your hand
never held again. 
Walking on a balance beam,
wobble and remount. 

Sunrise calls me to visit 
and taste her coffee,
each day with a smile. 
Beaming a warm reminder:
Go enjoy this day.


Balance Beam

There it is
Hard steel
Lined in felt
Walk the line
Toe to heel
Cards dealt
...hmm

Movement limited
Agility required
Success after failure
Repetition inspired
...hmpf

Music added
Flowing vibration
Fear dissipated
Leaping without hesitation
...triUMPH

Flooring preferred
Elevation elation
Not required
No name
No fame
Heart fired
...uPPPPP

Lessons of Life

Character mellows down As time moves on It goes up and up it never loosens Sometimes, down and down it drowns Ascent is rare but it takes also descent When you have reached top it prints a dent In life, remember Humans drift once in a while And while the balance beam You can’t get condone Maybe reprieve, censure and triumph But, don’t ever miss a stone unturned Lessons of life is rather fine.

Rings And Things

If you want to participate in the pool events at the Olympic rings you literally have to be right in the swim of things and you really ought to be on top of things if the balance beam is your sport or if it's high jump hurdles or pole vault you should get over them to a fault the Olympic rings were created giving athletes wings by Charles Pierre de Frédy Baron de Coubertin dubbing him 'Lord of the Rings'
