Balance

Hello dear readers, I’ve just arrived back home after my evening out at the “Twilight Market” event … For me, the night was a balancing act between my general tiredness and my willingness to participate in the event. Good news, I managed to run my stall ok, but now this little old hero is on the tired end of the “seesaw” … 😴
The poem “Balance” is in “Our” book Perceptions (page 5), and the Featured Image Above, was taken by Derrick Knight >> https://derrickjknight.com/2020/07/14/keeping-its-balance/



Balance


There is a distant shore
Between why and when
Life is a seesaw
Between hero’s and heroine’s


There is a balance
Between ups and downs
Life is a challenge
Between smiles and frowns


There is a common ground
Between storms and calmness
Life is a humming sound
Between love and blindness

Time Watches Over Us



ours is not to reason why
for we are merely a fly
in the bigger sky
just passing by


however!


we do not stop learning
because every day
teaches us something new


and!


we cannot cease loving
because every day
our universe
creates something new
for us to love


yes!


the wheels of time
do not stop turning
and grandfather clocks
do not stop chiming
