The Sea Waltz

You have to be hyper aware in waltz,
of the other person's feet.
To detect the slightest hint of movement.
To adjust your body,
before the wave shows teeth.
To dance around it,
lest it crash,
and you, underneath.
It crushes your chest,
and pulls you beneath.
It might put you to rest,
but leaves nothing to bequeath.

Yanis, the waltz metaphor really captures that tense, careful balance, like life’s fragility dancing just on the edge. Super vivid and real!
