Pendulum

Faster and faster I go

Ever swaying to and fro,

Round and round from side to side

Upon this pendulum ride.

 

I try to focus but it fascinates,

Beckoning me to follow it everywhere.

Is it a surprise my mind vacillates

With nary a commitment to declare?

 

It's either hold on or fall to my death,

And how high up we are!

But in those moments I can catch my breath

Nothing at all seems far.

 

If I want it then it can be mine

Through the proper use of my talents.

This may be difficult by design,

But it's all about learning balance.

 

Faster and faster I go

Ever swaying to and fro,

Round and round from side to side

Upon this pendulum ride.
