Tight Rope Walker- Fanie Viljoen
1 the storms are raging again in our house today
2 but full of dare I climb the rope
3 little foot by little foot I shu?le forward
4 past the despising winds of
5 did you again
6 but I told you
7 what did you do
8 worried eyes look at me from way below
9 far discarded from my spotlight balancing trick
10 my rope webs between
11 walls and doorhandles
12 family photos and calendars
13 flashing TV images and internet connections
14 till the garden gate
15 I am high above the ground
16 away from everything except the wind

18 I keep my eye on the rope
19 I balance my life
20 and foot for foot I shu?le forward
21 through the storm
