The Other Path

by Alison McKenzie

What felt like a tightrope to you
Appeared as a bridge to me,
Built on love’s sturdy intentions,
The pink elephant
Failing to blend in
With the drapes.

Well put, Alison.

"What felt like a tightrope to you Appeared as a bridge to me,..." What could have been the beginning words of many biographies for friends and acquaintances of mine, but none better said than you, here, Alison.

LOL! pink elephants associated in my mind with too much alcohol in the system!
