Pivot Point

By Indi Riverflow | November 2, 2014

Pivot point, pivot point,
Which foot leads?
It’s a chance dart
Tossed at a dance chart
Go back to what’s left
Or right on at full speed
What you can’t do is leave it up in the air
Pick a direction or you’ll go nowhere

Pivot point, pivot point
It’s a poignant choice
Down that hard rocky ground
Guts and glory bound
Or turn back around
And own your hometown
Retelling second-hand stories under a mask
Over and over to anyone who asks

Pivot point, pivot point
Who else can we appoint?
It’s your land to expand
Head for new peaks
Or tread in quicksand
That’s Excalibur in your hands
Man, swing that sword like it’s your own
For you’re the one that pulled it out of the stone

Pivot point, pivot point
Hopscotch for your life
Bending with trends
Leads to crowded dead-ends
Though many may attend
Bringing eager ears to lend
Tomorrow follows the course set now
There’s no choosing when, only how

Pivot point, pivot point
Fate swivels on this juncture
Blast faster to the past
Or cast it off for the future
Craft tomorrow’s architecture
Build something new to last
Or play forever under flags at half-mast
Whatever you do, don’t hesitate
That drawbridge gate ain’t fixin’ to wait
