Glacial Slip

 








Walking the knife edge of ice

careful with footed words

too easily misunderstood

the relationship became brittle

 

Over time differences in beliefs

with underlying structures

moving at different speeds

caused the glacier to fracture

 

The crevasse widened

and for a while I clung

trying to be a good friend

accepting her for who she is

 

I acknowledge

my faults and guilt

admit where I lack

try to be better

 

But at the same time

I hold onto who I am

I stand strong

in my beliefs

 

Maybe it’s time to let go

I slip off the edge

trusting there’s a hand hold

to help me up the other side.
