Balance

Balance is difficult for me -- generally leaning one way or the other if not oscillate more apt to choose that additional cold beer, wanting to capture sunset squeeze several more blazing rays onto a fiery horizon – a tropical beach, some Paradise Lost deep in memory…. One more dab to an already overflowing canvas – one more transitional metaphor, lyrical vehicle of flickering, manic dimension rocking the spirit like a saturating kiss into drenching ecstasy -- 5 billion years of earth genes and yet feeling the out of place child, expecting to sit antsy free in a classroom Who can blame Mirror-nature for her extreme reactions!?~ quakes, plagues and famines – arguments into world obliterating...man’s soulful inclination to be inclement, downright hostile and recklessly volatile in the face of God --

Hi Anne; thank you -- seems to me a soul problem, due to a selfishly educated soul never feeling satisfied, having been wrongly tutored that, excess is quality -- glutinously believing that the solution is "Give me" as opposed to "the abundance experienced when giving". I especially like your comment~ I think you should add this one to your personal quotes. Have a great day my friend.

Did not Our Lord prophesied that we will be faced with earthquakes, floods, and other disasters? And we brought these disasters ourselves through our egoistic desires.

Hi Victor; just my opinion, but I think people wrongly believe, when believing that God's Law is outside of them, and not a living extension of Free Will being. The substance of our minds translates the substance of our souls -- mind, thoughts, feelings, are the Substance-archetypes of physical reality.

Hi Joe; just the process of my own thinking, hoping that I am not so different, and through honest, open discussion, we can help one another back to Truth.

What a profound write this is dear joe! And so well written too! I agree who can blame mother nature for mirroring exactly what she has been served and also i really found it creative how youv written “ overflowing canvas – one more transitional metaphor, lyrical vehicle of flickering, manic dimension” lyrical vehicle! Clever! Brilliant wordpairing there! Pleasure always reading your work.

I can relate to your difficulty in finding balance. I enjoyed the reflective and contemplative nature of your poem. I liked the cleverness and wit in your use of 'mirror-nature.' Quite effective. Have a pleasant evening, Sara
