Balance

I hold back the action
Admirable though it would be
Frozen mammoth restrained
Introspectively

Or a beetle in amber
Polite and decorative
Without a reaction, Thermo-
dynamically

Fear is involved
Other causes urge forward
Contributing thrust
Abandonedly

Thus it is peace becomes us
In this country of marvels;
Motivations in balance
Inescapably
