High Wire

High Wire

In the crossfire of the bright lights
Standing on the high wire
No safety net
Nothing to catch her.

She walks a line of insanity
Holding her breath
Daring her life
With one more escapade.

Spellbound audience in a hush
Awe and disbelief
Will her charm last forever?

Standing on a high wire
Balancing it all out
Up and down
Nothing to catch her.

How will her story end?
The show is over
The crowds walk away.
She is left standing on the
High wire with no one to catch her.
