The Fence

I ride the fence; I live there now, in the middle of everything.

It is most comfortable, for I am a watcher and a thinker.

Sometimes the grass is just as green on the other side.

Other times there are no good decisions.

To see both sides can be frustrating, overwhelming even.

But I always see the bigger picture, overlooking every component, every connection.

To hell with the details; they are tedious and bothersome.

Others enjoy them anyway; I let them handle the minutia.

Admittedly, I jump off the fence from time to time, or am pushed.

I go with the flow and veer toward adventure.

After all, how am I to see the edge if I'm always in the middle?

A love of fun and adventure make me reckless.

A desire for new perspective makes me change; I do love change.

Nothing phases me anymore; I've seen both sides for too long.

But it leaves me with an open mind, and everyone is invited.
