Acrobatic Acts

Acrobatic balancing acts

Right hand on home
Family, children, clothing and schooling
Finances wither at gas prices’ ruling

Left hand on the job
Stress, pressure - will we get a raise?
Or have to face a downsizing craze

Right foot on love
Maintaining, soothing, pleasing the mate
Protection from alluring vultures’ bait

Left Foot on everything else afloat
Politics, health, face-lifts and Wall Street,
Emptiness in eyes of people we meet

Trying to balance a trembling body
Which rope of life will be your choice?
Luck… or a direct line to the Creator’s voice

What an ingenious way to express the way so many feel these days, especially with all the unknown factors yet to surface...

Be always safe,
