Love Over Gold -- Mark Knopfler

(Poem #165)Love Over Gold
 You walk out on the high wire
 you're a dancer on thin ice
 you pay no heed to the danger
 and less to advice
 your footsteps are forbidden
 but with a knowledge of your sin
 you throw your love to all the strangers
 and caution to the wind

 And you go dancing through doorways
 just to see what you will find
 leaving nothing to interfere
 with the crazy balance of your mind
 and when you finally reappear
 at the place where you came in
 you've thrown your love to all the strangers
 and caution to the wind

 It takes love over gold
 and mind over matter
 to do what you do that you must
 when the things that you hold
 can fall and be shattered
 or run through your fingers like dust
-- Mark Knopfler
