we are caught
on that see saw of sorts
of days gone by
we are into a game
of pushing oneself to rise
while the other falls
.
we are balanced
in an up down motion of glee
with that spacer
that wedges in between us
gripping onto that handle
riding without equilibrium
.
yet
there is new found height
with every imprint we made on that ground
whilst the world rides in momentum
we always pick each other up
when the other tumbles..
.

Glad to see you shine….
beautiful words.
