A Brief Reprieve

the weight is lifted,
the unease remains,
this is how life unfolds:
always teetering on the brink
of euphoric joys
and crushing sadness,
we must live in the middle -
balancing on the knife-edge -
not seeing the future,
but being prepared
for what may come,
never leaning too far
into joy nor sorrow,
we must keep on
always, 
keep on
