Just Hanging On
by Richard L. Provencher

Hanging onto a wall
I see children
playing in the sand

castles taking shape
sun dancing on
a clam-shelled beach

and I hear about
smoothed over rock
imperfections.

Beholding this Godly
scene my fingers
struggle to hold on

legs stretching
toes barely touching
the elusive earth.

Evening's dusk
captures the horizon
and I finally drop

a mere few feet to
sounder footing
back to the memories

of my own youth and
the protective
shelter of His wings.

Richard L. Provencher
