My Short Poem (inspired by this image)

I’m fascinated by contrasts, seeming contradictions and the general paradoxes of life.

This arresting image captured by imagination and, in meditating upon it, I wrote this short poem, below:

Beauty, grace, elegance
perched, lightly,
on the back of danger—

unafraid and unassailable.

Metaphor for a (good) life 🙏🏼

Tell me, what do you see when you look at this striking photograph?
