I fell off the tightrope
That rope that is my lifeline
Whenever there is crisis
Within myself
Or in the world.
I fell, hard.
Deep into the hole I went
Unable to grasp the rope
Or the love
Or the light
That sustains true life.
Disappointment and anger
Turned into
Curiosity and resolve
To be authentic
And transparent
When others cannot be.
I shine a light from my heart
On hypocrisy
On dissonance
On the walls of my cell.
And I see it!
The rope!
It was there all the time
In the darkness
Waiting for me.
