Key Perspective

Sitting lightly on the precipice
has taught me nothing.

Landing squarely on a conclusion
has gotten me nowhere.

It's the jump that moves me forward.
I see the distance differently
as I find my way across,
one key at a time.

I can play along
and join the tune.
Or choose the notes
and change the melody,
participating in the creation
of what happens next.

Each note a possibility,
each choice a beginning.
Harmony or dissonance,
a thousand songs yet to be.
