Latte Junkie: Lyrical Sunday

Without Risk

Without a misstep off the beaten path,

Risking crashing through the gorse -

thorn pricks of panic

tearing through your heart

Without risk, there is no chance

Without lungs gasping,

tumbling thoughts mismatched

words broken, rehashed, replayed

vertigo of the mind, eyes blind

Without risk, there is no change

Without falling down, uphill

hands grabbing, clutching to familiar

safety nets tearing, legs stalling

eyes glazing., mind hiccoughing

Without risk, there is no choice

Without heading off the beaten path

burning bridges not yet crossed,

destroying the foundations

and always hoping for the best

It will always be, as it always was.

Yes, so very true. Very thought provoking indeed.

So well put. I haven't managed anything yet (all my children are still awake at 10.30pm!!) & I've been pathetically distracted with some risky erotica reading!
