It Occurs to Me...

I am a tightrope walker...
Unicycle, somersaults, all without a net!
There is only one thing I am not brave enough to do,
and that is to look down.

I am a downhill skier...
95 miles an hour, crashing though the gates.
I have no real control, just luck, guts, instinct,
and trust in well-trained reflexes.

I am a deaf-mute philosopher...
pondering the mysteries I see:
Life is sweetest just on the edge;
We are most human when we are most vulnerable;
There are some loves you just never get over...
