Keep the Balance

Agate skies filled with cloud-swirls;
twisting, turning rivers of music dance above.

Below angry magma bubbles up a sea of madness.
Its chaotic belching disrupts all life.

Earth is full of dragons, all colors, shapes and sizes.
Slaying dragons is a waste when no one realizes 
what they've done.

Perhaps we need those dragons more than we know.
Opposites are everywhere; yin and yang provide a balance.

Black and white, left and right,
love and hate, war and peace but,
blind humans see only one side.

One-sidedness is the great destroyer today.
A well-oiled Earth runs on diversity.

Cloud-swirls and angry belching magma are different cogs
working together.
Dragons are as necessary as everything else
and we must learn to teach instead of destroying them; to…
tame our dragons.

Earth needs color and sound to survive balanced chaos and harmonics ensure a smoothly running planet in a universe of well-oiled, celestial machines.
