Balance of Being

Life’s equilibrium hanging on force of gravity
Rotating day and night uniformly in parity
In mystique of universe ceaselessly expanding;
Will vagaries of time tip the balance of being?

What a deep profound write dear Vijay - written and projected to us as a thought we all have and ask, but which answer to, can only be known by The Omnipotent. So well penned my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Only God knows the answer to this, as far as what happens next. "Rotating day and night" I find it fascinating how everything moves and changes. Amazing bite size poem, my dear friend. :) Brandy

This is an amazing poem Vijayji... To be frank, I asked my son to explain it to me... yes, as the universe seems to be expanding by dark energy.. . (this is what he said)... we really do not know ..... what will happen in future... Enjoyed reading this brilliant poem... God bless... ~ Ani

A very well crafted poem, with a question. If the human race is the only alien in the universe, self destruction or will they become the Gods of Olympus, and creation starts all over again?

A good question you pose for us to contemplate. Much appreciate your visit and comments, Harry. Many thanks.

Vijay, you wrote an amazingly well-crafted poem about cosmological balance and god's miracles in an ever-expanding universe. You portrayed so many beautiful realities about skies and stars in just four lines; my best wishes for the contest.
