Balance is a levitated word
held between my fingers
with no space for doubt.Balance doesn’t lean or lose;
it’s always in control.
Gravity is its guide.Balance grows on solid ground,
strengthens while it weighs nothing,
suspension in space and time.So how is it, then, that balance
eludes the seeker? Here for a second,
then gone, out of reach.We request balance in our lives
of diet
of things-to-do lists
of spinning plates.But balance is only of God,
of true peace
of kindness
of mercy.Balance can not be achieved alone.
