The Rope
He walks the rope into the bright,
and looks the dark behind his sight.
It wasn't that dark after all,
no wonder he didn't ever fall.
She walks her rope,
into her bright,
he is far away from her sight.
Tied were their ropes,
in due time,
five knots he sees,
make him smile.
The bright he knows,
Is the call,
he has to let go, after all.
The knots he sees,
growing small,
he wonders if they'll snap at all!
She walks her rope, oh so fast,
seemingly oblivious to the past.
His life he owes to stronger knots,
with ropes which remind him
how the brightness calls.
His wish -
her bright shall never die.
New ropes, new knots,
their ways to tie.
