that stands,
and on two feet,
balancing precariously,
lifts the world above his head,
in belief
of 
being God.

His wideness rampant, his legs not tall
Making us smile with his balancing act.

Premium Member Balancing her Loves

she sings a song no one else knows
reveling in her own worth
praising herself in honesty
not bragging, but balancing
Her love for herself
with her love for others

Day to day chaos 
balancing family and work 
chomping on the bills 
that never seem to cease 
why does life seem so complicated? 
When ancient days were so simple

Premium Member Balance

There is no bravery without fear.
Control is the key for balancing that pair.
Without balance bravery evolves into recklessness,
and fear can develop into total cowardice.

for right beneath the unaware old woman’s nose
her dog was balancing fuchsia cat with his big toes

We Have a Dream

We all have a
Dream
Or, so it would

Despite, Our being
on an opposing team
And, weighing Our options,
on the balancing beam
For, One over the Other

Balancing accounts, my most hated chore, Invoices piling higher than ever before. Lists of too many charges haunt me today, Lamenting the weight of each bill to pay.

Premium Member Balancing the scales

Life is far from easy breezy
We work we toil we suffer
We dream we climb we fall

Happiness measured in moments
is gathered as precious gems
to be cherished in our mind
