Gingerly

via Daily Prompt: Gingerly

There is a fine line
Between trudging wearily
And walking lightly

I’ve danced back and forth
Across that line
Anxiety will do that to a person

In a moment
The tide can turn
From fear to elation
From panic to relief
Back again

In spite of my body
My emotions dance gingerly
Atop the nerves
