Precipice (inspired by Legacy-Power of 10)

This entry is part of The Power of 10 Poetic Exercise.  The words in bold are the words that Legacy selected for me to use as part of the poem.

I stand on the precipice

Tittering between the Comfortable and the Unfamiliar

I have dealt with this Struggle before

My Mind only wants to deal with the concrete

While my Heart stays the enthusiastic optimist

Lapping up the liquid of Hope

Invigorated by Faith

Yet it’s a challenge to keep myself immune

From Doubt’s erosion

Prosperity of mishaps more anticipatory than surprise,

And I do remind myself

There’s Clarity in the Loss

There are lessons in the pain

Providing renewed vision to ensure optimum stability

Yet the rockiness still remains…

Am I wrong to yearn

But at the same time feel weary

Of continuing this race

To truly embrace

This

Love…

Precipice
