"An Act of Balance"

[cravenalba]

(She) sang along with the
Traffic as it floated
Above her head.

Closed her eyes to
The sight of a new
Morning, and
Instead, *breathed* in
The world and smiled.

Dug her bare toes
Into the {cracks} of
The sidewalk, always half-
Expecting to hit sand
E

Walked her line of
Life upon a balance-
Beam; hop, skip, jump---
And bowed at the finish,
Hands outstretched,
Clutching springtime’s
Blossums.

Awesome, as always.

I love what you did with the parenthesis and such. It was very unique. I also liked the imagery. It's a very cute poem.
