Equilibrium

My vision tingles, colors awaken
as if they'd been fossilized in a photograph of 
black and white.
 
My sight starts to single out exactly
 
 
                           what isn't there.
 
 
I stare, immense beauty exploding-
a supernova of stellar Earthly sights
pierces the veil of vile synthetic lights.
 
They skew, anew, casting golden lemon drop
crystals amongst the freshly sprouted green petals 
of grass.
 
And at last,
while sharing their golden nectar amid white
wisps of washed out clouds that patch the 
glistening sky,
 
dragonflies
 
                  flitter
 
                             by.
 
Intertwined and combined in perfect unison, they sing-
all is as it should be,
 
we are the epitome of yin and yang.

Hi Amber, Excellent write.. I like the alliterative wordplay: "veil of vile..skew-anew"; the rhyming imagery is great too: "dragonfly'''flitter by"--nice! The Yin-Yang reference makes for a restful yet emphatic finish. So good job! Cheers, Brian
