Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse # 56 hosted by one of my favorite poets in the whole world, Shay!
Fear is the highest fence. ~Dudley Nichols
I watch you from afar holding my breath as you dare to live
bravely
For it is a wild ride for those willing to stand on the edge
You never did merely kiss life on the cheek
You always French Kissed full on
With lips set apart
To ride with you is always an experience
That pushes past the safety rails
And dives deep into wild seas
You come up for air
Only to dive right back in deeper
You fly higher
Roll faster
And strip naked to the world unashamed
willing to walk
barefoot on shifting sands
falling never stopped you
so, you keep moving on no matter what lies ahead
and I watch you from afar holding my breath as you dare to
live bravely
sometimes a cautious heart misses out on beauty
avoiding all the bruises
that could await.
