TRAPEZE
(Jim Rodford)
Argent


Flying high
Turning in space
Indecision
Faltering grace. 
Baying crowd
Blinding white light
Upturned faces
Shadows of night.
Trusted hands
Catch me with ease
Life's ambition
Flying trapeze.
Ravaged dreams 
Sweat from my brow 
Free fall vision 
Dragging me down. 

Flying, sighing, headlong into dread 
Hoping, praying I'll find the path to tread

Spinning world
Motion unreal
Premonition
Time will reveal.
Worthless years
Passing me by
Resolution
Taking me high.
