I am an acrobat <br />walking high up on the wire <br />knowing well that I may fall <br />still I climb up higher. <br />Light and balanced <br />I am unsure of every step. <br />If I should fall I will surely die <br />and my body will break and my soul will fly <br />into the night where the spirits scream <br />I will leave your world and become a dream. <br /> <br />Till then, your love will be your saving grace. <br />I'll hold you through your winter. <br />Knowing well that you will leave <br />But still I hold you closer. <br /> <br />Let me shine the light down the road you travel. <br />Knowing that the things you treasure will be the hardest to comprehend. <br />I'll feel you struggle till the answers come. <br />Then you'll fly away. <br />But take my hand until that day <br />so you'll know the true depth of my love. <br /> <br />I know that change will come. <br />I'd give the world to stop that flow. <br />But like a silhouette dancing I can see you <br />the shadows become clear as you take your leave. <br /> <br />Then my body will break and my soul will fly <br />Into the night, where my spirit screams. <br />then I'll leave your world and become your dream.<br /><br />Eila Mahima Jaipaul<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acrobat/
