In the depths

Walking the tightrope

that’s life

you are bound

to lose your balance

and fall down sometimes.

Do not be disheartened.

For downward it may be

it still is a distance.

Try not to be tough either.

For falling rocks shatter

on hitting the bottom

and iron only buries itself deeper.

Be flexible.

You will bounce back.

And who knows

you might also get hold of

a diamond or two this time.

For that is where they are found.

In the depths.
