Balance

~~~

Life exists in the balance

The teetering of cosmic scale

One more breath to breathe in

After every breath exhaled

~~~

Every obvious good

Holds a little evil unseen

And life is much more grey

Found in the in-betweens

~~~

Let nature be your guide

To the impermanence

Mountains erode away

Deserts just seas, past tense

~~~

We must find our own paths

In a world that remains unstill

Not always the ease of down

Some parts will be uphill

~~~

This balance in our lives

Is what we should strive for

Leaning too far in one direction

Will only your fall assure

~~~
