In Balance

You are a safari, 
but I wonder can you see
the vision, what I think of 
when you look at me;

Your eyes are like cliff diving; 
You push me to an edge, 
Ask me to look so hard 
before jumping again and again;

You’re a bit like the Nile,
Ferocious and nourishing; 
An open book 
yet shrouded in mystery; 

Perfect rain, perfect sun
you’re a piece of the Savanna
dangerously inviting,
Wild, and completely in balance.
