Wires

Carefully cut the wire and wait.Life is a series of narrow escapes.A chain reaction,A loose thread that we must pull.The birth of religionIn the challenge of the unknown.But all desperationLeads to a fork in the road -We live for understandingOr for control.So very carefully we'll cut the wire and wait.With one eye closed,We'll draw back,Catch our breath and let go...Time is the string in betweenThe arrow and the bow.If there's one thing we've learnedAs our pulse returns -Timing is everything.If life is a series of narrow escapes,We're shifting our weightIn this tightrope ballet.We're down to the wire.
