such a thin narrow slippery little line
separating light from dark
good from evil
how many walk
carefully along this line
step by step
one foot
deliberately placed
directly in front of the other foot
toe to heel
toe to heel
doesn’t take much
just a little puff of the winds of life
to cause a stumble
a little slip
an off balance moment
with an immediate plunge deep into darkness
this thin narrow slippery little line
get off it!
don’t even try to walk it
move over
well over
miles over
into the light

Love your poetry. Thank you - from someone still trying to walk the thin line when I need to leap into the light.
