Risk and Reward

It pays to remember
that even a moment
of inattention
can be disastrous

and those things
that bring us joy
and freedom
may have a price.

There is relish
and satisfaction
in exhilaration
and thrill

but harm, handicap
even death
can be the unwitting
consequence.

Not to say
lives should be
suffocated
by caution

but awarness
of the cost
and resolute focus
are vital
to avoid accident
and ignorance
-buy the ticket take the ride-
and although there may be tragedy
there will be no blame or accusation of responsibility.
