Grasping For Goldilocks

Burning off the excess Things got out of line Everything is golden Until it loses its shine Pendulum constantly swinging Quick to overreact Impermanence around the corner Grasping for what is fact Need to seek balance Stand on stable ground Know things will settle What was lost will be found The scale evens out Water finds its level We’ll never find Goldilocks But the pendulum starts to settle

Goldilocks is fleeting Mike, and never really lasts, probably why it seems like it’s never found, your poem balances out very well on the whole, I enjoyed reading, cheers David
