What Is Balance?

Even when balance seems to be found,

I seem to go in circles, round & around,

Trying to maintain that which was found,

yet the struggle keeps coming around.

Balance is a state,

It’s a kind of apparatus,

It’s a social status,

It’s a bait,

that goes beyond fate.

Balance is sometimes a dream,

A reality that promises a beam,

A beam of light,

which shines on the cream of the crop.

That top shelf life,

that wellness, freshness, & momentous dream that promises a beam.

Whether it’s self-esteem or my bloodstream,

Balance requires an attitude of lifelong pursuit.

A hunt of no guarantees,

with only a potential fruit,

A life well suited,

For those well rooted.
