Ethereal Scale
The idiom of opposition as nature,
extreme poles of ego in rapture.
On one side there is perfection,
one the other there is limitation.
Material weight here in demand,
influences that command.
Pursuits after the impossible,
chronic diseases not reversible.
Light of perfection and flame of hope,
regardless after all still in cope.
Discriminating between want and need,
contentment raises the weight in deed.
Equality longing for every living soul,
prophet and painter beyond the earthly goal.
Every beautiful thought gets entangled,
important knots with busy strangled.
Celestial law in just and perfect right,
the law in our balance to be proclaimed.
