A Poem on the Power of Risk!

Passion and being a risk-taker are two of the most powerful
aspect of creativity. I found this poem inspirational.


TIGERS

What are we now but voices
who promise each other
a life neither one can deliver
not for lack of wanting
but wanting can't make it so.
We hang froma vine
at the cliff's edge.
There are tigers above
and below. Let us love
one another and let go.

  • i loved this poem from the moment i read it in the New Yorker. Of course when a poet speaks to your life, your soul, it helps. Great love and happiness comes at great risk...
