a tipping balance
equipoise had eluded him
a counterweight of feathers
failed to lift weights
from the other side of nowhere
maybe it was the fulcrum
that needed new balance
a pivotal shift in the light
of burdensome weight
burning the bridge
before the crossing
a pendulum on either side
suspended the pendant
when he approached
the courage to fear
