On the Edge
Practicing outside of my comfort zone
Truly stretching my horizon
Flexible and subtle movements
Approaching today’s limit
On the edge
Just on the safe side of pain
Feeling discomfort in my body
Bringing focus to my mind on breath
Precariously balanced without a net
On the edge
Toes firmly planted near the abyss
Not being drawn to go farther
Into those dangerous places
Finding the peace that exists
On the edge
It is a dance in harmony with my nature
Allowing me to playfully be all I can
Anchored in the stillness of the moment
While tethered by grace while living
On the edge
