Art of Negotiation

An opportunity comes our way
in as related to the external
We look at it in detached nonchalance 
viewing it with cognition spherical 

We do not leap to seize our chance
for implications arising from it remain
Positioning ourself at the other end
we review it for potential karmic stain

In the daily game of worldly negotiations 
we no longer are the astute negotiator
Throb of love our ever present orientation 
we are the humble & surrendered placater 

Thus neither giving nor taking as a trade
the yardstick we employ is balance
Allowing right of way to the other
in joyful and empathetic playful parlance
