Balance

Balanced disorder
To mend the nebulous, needs
a system approach

Dispersal nature
all of confusion, pull back
and get organized

Clamor for freedom
Disrupts the status quo, check
elements of change

Win over the heart
Fair maiden plays hard to get
Plead and motivate

Untold heartache  from
the young’s roving nature, check
freedom and restrain

Written for d'Verse Meeting the bar with Victoria's balance as a prompt

  4. i like the pull back and get organized because it is often the step back and change of perception that that helps us find that balance again...

  12. Freedom brings joy, yet balance is required to maintain the passions of one with the needs of the many. Often that balance finds release within the heart, the soul, the part of us that believes it is what it is. Yet, so many forces bring us to circumstances wherein expression of freedom must seek its true perspective. True freedom, perhaps, is unattainable without greater awareness, yet that in of itself means that the search for freedom never ends, is always ongoing, the balance always tipping from one extreme to the other.
