Balanced Madness
The marooned mind gets confused
by the maddening ways things happen,
lies hidden somewhere in the depth of perception,
maybe in the undefined gene of reason,
forming the motif of indoctrinated norms of normalcy.
Someone standing up against the tide of tradition,
refuses to submerge within docile submission,
discovers the mind born disoriented,
asks questions on life's rationale,
but finds no answer,
tears the

Balanced existence
Oceon waves move in troughs and peaks, currants and eddys
Are way down deep.' Permeating the fluids strong, salty grains
That pass unseen, echo of life be it bland or keen? As
Above in wayward events, all is changing to such extents'
Where are
Life or death? Its hard to sense' all things began from a
Void of deep dark

Wild Balanced Frenzy
they danced with a liquid wild balanced frenzy
it was rather a glide than a street brawl
but had the same kinds of feelings in it
beautiful couple, gorgeous tango

She Balanced Herself Perfectly
Trixie Puff piled the rocks in the weirdest way
The woods and the lagoon watched her most of the day
It will never hold her the oak tree whispered to many.
She climbed to the top, and laughed like a New England guinea
Cardinals red came in and sat around, watching her feat.
She’s going to fall a blue jay

Balanced
Good deeds, misdeeds.
Good for you, bad for him.
The middle way is a narrow road,
thread the needle.
Monkey Pox
or a fresh oranges?
Some balancing choices
need no great deliberation.
The longer we live
the more the proliferation
of garden rakes.
Whiskey on the rocks,
marriage on the rocks,
there will always be
more rocks
Tight rope, high wire.
Wobble on your way
out-stretched arms.
Don't look down,
Smile for the camera
Sooner

Time - a Bubble Balanced
a point is balanced by its empty space
contraction is balanced by expansion
gravitation balances space
mass balances energy
change balances continuity
irrationality balances 'pi-e-phi' numerical continuities
a numerical existence balances the mental illusion of 'change as time'
mass contraction balances energy expansion as/of a bubble of time
a slow burning candle flame balances wax consumption with energy loss
understanding is a balance

Life Is Not Fair But Balanced Maybe
You ran away when I needed you the most.
You conquered me and decided to boast.
Life is crappy right now from A to Z.
Life is not fair. But balanced? Maybe.
I took a bath delighting in her warmness.
Bees ignored me on walks. There was no swarmness.
The day was not so bad after I’d smelled the roses.
And watered

A Balanced Individual
I'm a balanced individual
I have a chip on both my shoulders,
And they are getting bigger
As each year I grow older.
I seem to begrudge the young their youth
It's just plain jealousy,
I envy all their years ahead,
So many more than me.
I hate it that my back aches
And that my knees are sore,
And how careful that

Balanced
you are the small town boy to my raging city girl,
the quiet chirping of the crickets to the everlasting hum of the train right outside my window.
you remind me of running in the grass at night, catching fireflies,
of coming home with grass-stained knees,
of something i haven’t felt in a long time.

****************
touched by a zephyr
evoked memories your breath
warm summer days
-
finding the balance
on a hot sunshiny day
dappled shadows

my garden bench
i share with untidy guests
bird droppings sun baked

summer storm threatens
yet not a cloud in the sky
wise are the insects
-
a distant rumble
the summer storm passed us by
wildlife exploded
-
ere the season
a garden... a way of life
a summer reward

i found the

My imaginary friend isn’t doing so well
Or, do I refer to myself. It’s tricky as Hell
Here I am, Pacing, retracing and contemplating
Alternating amongst the wreckage, my heart is racing
Now I’m face down, comatose, waiting
For the glory, the mercy, an ounce of sympathy
An outreached hand to lure me in gently
The rising of the tide has

until you send for me
until you see
me
walking on egg shells
one whisper away
from this glass house
crashing down
until you re-plant
me
and until you
re-anchor me, re-center me
h---, just re-write a new ending for me
