Dancing The Abyss

Dancing the Abyss

Rich, poor, no matter.
Creeds, convictions, colors,
compassions, no matter.
Every path through life,
and everyone, everywhere
dances a few times along the abyss
and passes through
terrible typhoons and tornadoes.
If it's not of one sort, it's another.
Everyone breaks in a place or two
and wear a few deep scars for it.
We all find out sooner or later
what this old world can do.
Some fall and don't get up.
These have to wait for another lifetime
to move through the pain.
Others regrow, patch and repair.
To some they appear haggard,
torn and tattered, but where their scars are,
a light now shines and they are stronger.
