Equilibrium
There is no balance
There are bubbles in the water
and drops in the air
Rain falls down, fog rises up
Evil defines good
Lies cannot live without truth
Cold wants warmth
Darkness strives for light
Rain falls down, fog rises up
Forming a quivering shadow
A cold and warm stream
This is how my body works,
and I'm terribly anxious because
the packaging is too fragile
For what's inside me ...
There is no balance,
this is the main secret
And the rest are between the
pillow and the book
One has only to breathe,
and the air will sway and disperse
The order will be out of order
In one blinding flash
Day aspires to the night
There is no balance
Equilibrium is not possible
Who needs it?
Equilibrium is so boring

and drops in the air
Rain falls down, fog rises up

Equilibrium is so boring

Yes balance tends to be to normal, but anxiety can overwhelm at times, Sometimes you need that burst of something though to feel alive, freaking on edge. Tight Lady

So true, I_IS_ME, so true... Your comment is on point and I love that you think it is tight. ;)

I think of the world as suffering from bi-polar disorder. Balance is just natures way of righting the ship (sort of like Prozac). But you wait long enough you'll get that swing that makes it sooooo not boring. People are the same way. Nice write.

Ultimately there is a sort of balance in the lack of it but the mood swings can be quite extreme. :) Thank you so much for the comment and your thoughts Tim...

Balance can be normal. The shit that happens in our lives can something screw with our balance. Keep on writing.

Thank you for the comment Francisco, I seem to always be out of balance. Maybe some day I know what balance feels like.

Dear K,
You’re on to something here. All this striving for balance/equilibrium might just be over rated. In retrospect, all the years I talked a good game of control and trying to maintain I’ve failed miserably. For that effort I may as well have just chucked a bunch of coins in the air and watched to see if they landed heads up or tails up. I give. I’m going shopping. I’ll meet you at the mall. Everything will balance out after a bit of retail therapy.

I can definitely identify with your comment, the more I seek balance - the more I find chaos. So I guess I will meet you at the mall. ;) Now, what to buy?... and Thank you so much for the comment.

This is perhaps the most insightful work I've read from you, with a mellifluous equipoise between it's nuance of emotion, palpable through the slightly elevated and yet measured pace of the voice, the proportional touch of details and sensitivity of it's rendering, all with a calm yet energized presence. You've touched into a truth at the core of my beliefs here, that opposites exist in this dimension for our sense of understanding through relativity, gorgeous use of elements, everything very balanced and natural. I'm going to recommend this to a few friends. Impressive work.

Thank you so much for the comment and feedback Daniel. You have a beautiful and very meaningful way of providing feedback. That you would recommend this to friends is such an amazing and unexpected compliment. I am truly humbled by your continued support.

I love the flow of this piece and the way you painted such fascinating images. I was touched most by this passage
"the packaging is too fragile
For what's inside me."
I am enthralled by your talent, BD❤

Thank you so much for the comment and compliment, GW. Those lines were very meaningful to me. And I am enthralled by your talent also. :)

Love this one too. I suffer from imbalance in my moods, my relationships, my health. I try meditation, try self help. Nothing cures the way poetry does. I'm so thankful I fell in love with it. It never bores either! Ver cathartic. Loved it. ☺️

I am so happy that you like this one also. I truly hope you find the peace, love, and health you deserve. I am fairly new to writing like this and still feel inadequate to use the designation poetry but I know what you mean that it is cathartic. :) Thank you for your lovely compliment.

🙏💛🙏💛🙏💛. I hope you will feel confident the more you go into it because you are a natural if I may be so bold to believe I have the merit to know. But I think I do...😁
