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.
