Walking on a cliff
Scared you might fall
You close your eyes
But don’t
Not before you see
What lies beneath you
And realize
It’s not a cliff but
A staircase at your home
An uneasy conversation
Frightened you are trapped
You take off
But don’t
Not before you see
What’s happening around you
And realize
What you were hearing
Was a memory of an old conversation
Keep your eyes open
Until you see it
Hang in there
Until you notice
All the details with clarity
The game is on
And you don’t want to miss
The treasure
That awaits you at the end
