Balance is the
key to life,
it's a dance
that we all do.
We strive to find
that balance point,
while seeking
out the truth.
Having too much
of anything
throws our
lives off kilter.
Good and evil
love and pain,
like walking
on a wire.
Love and family
work and play,
juggling them
all at once.
The balancing act
of yin and yang,
searching for
some answers.
Sometimes we
just need to
take a break,
get out and
enjoy nature.
Remembering we
are part of
Mother Earth,
the wisdom
of the ages.
The answers
we are seeking
are whispered
in the wind.
Just listen with
an open heart,
and feel the
peace within.
When your soul
and nature
are as one,
the balance
has begun.
all at once.

ReplyDeleteLove it ... but my suggestion is to lose all of the punctuation. It is so much easier to read without it and you may delete this comment. Strive for balance. I am a poet.
ReplyDeleteHi skdd :) Thanks for the comment on my latest poem "Balance" As for the punctuation thing......I found this cool article about it, and these lines from that article pretty well sum up my attitude towards the subject: When I was in high school, Liz Frank-Green, one of my favorite English teachers of all time, introduced me to e.e. cummings. Needless to say, I loved his work, and yes, partly because he broke the rules. He was a rebel. I like rebels. So, if you’re inclined to be a rebel, too, consider the possibility that if “all” poetry is devoid of punctuation, then it becomes “mainstream.” At that point, utilizing punctuation and traditional forms becomes rebellious...and i am a rebel in training ;) You can check out the entire article here :) To Punctuate or Not to Punctuate, therein lies the Question…
ReplyDeletelove it as i just discovered you and love your style.

It's a difficult thing to maintain balance, at first. It only sustains itself in time. Kind of like throwing away our training wheels for the first time. Our courage to peddle freely into future will work like a gyroscope. Balance is sustained by inertia. Good poem Dave... be well.
ReplyDeleteThis is grand.
