When my sun is hidden, I must rely upon on my moon’s shine.
When my chakra is askew, I must realign.
Learning the things I already knew.
They flew over my head
cause I’m cuckoo.

'One spliff a day'
I decided.

Everything has a balance.
there is a give and take in all we do

a little bit of this
                                                            ­                                a little bit of that

But we all have addictions

And balance is hard to achieve

The lady that goes running in the heat of the day
The man that pumps weights for hours on end
My friend who parties to forget
Me, when I'm thinking of you

                                 Balance cannot exist here
                                 Where people are hurting

              And that is why I'm on the third smoke of the morning
              And my friend wakes up hungover, but continues drinking
              And the man aches, but pushes through to finally feel good
              And the lady becomes lightheaded, yet runs faster.

Give a lot,                                    get little.

Anger
Is not bad
Nor wrong.
If you let
Your anger
Control your life
It is.

Sadness
Is not wrong
Nor bad
If you let it
Get in the way
It is.

No matter
What society says
You cannot
Feel too much.

But it is possible
To make yourself
Feel too little.

It is not wrong
To not like people.

It is not bad
To not be a
People pleaser.

Yet
There is a balance
An in between
Not quite
Perfectly in the middle
Yet there is
Balance.

You
Are not wrong
Nor bad.
Just you.

Standing on the edge of the cliff.
Losing my balance.
Not falling slowly,
But quick.
Falling
Hit the ground.
Blood dripping on the ground.
While you could have offered me a hand.
Text me
I'm lonely
Our life’s definition
lies beyond what we use to define
life

emotion & thought
observation & action
acceptance & debate

our bodies heed to balance
like the earth to the moon & sun

we are forged by the unknown
as much as the known

through pulsation and reservation
do we align ourselves with
our true
resonation

You
6/15/19

You are a most fragile thing,
Yes, and you’re rarely found pure,
Refreshing like a mountain spring,
He who lacks you is honestly poor.

People fear your genuine company,
Your attendance can be lonely.
So they take you into custody,
To destroy you, thinking of self only.

The collective chaos of your absence,
Somehow they thrive on it.
What they carelessly lack is balance,
We don’t get along in the least bit.

You are a most difficult thing to disturb,
You bring such a pensive atmosphere.
Distracted by other things perturbs,
But just like that, you disappear.
Who am I?
My name is Silence. I am a gift to those who know me. I am a curse to those who deny my benefit.

You held me in your arms and whispered,
“Baby, I’ll make you my queen,”
But darling, don’t you get it-
I don’t need your love
To make me something I already am.
Once again
life has burdened me
with the reality
that not all is simple and sweet
but cruel and full of deceit
simply explained
that all love
is balanced with pain

No matter how dark it's going to get
Before you go, let me show you the light
Do not forget that Life is not a part of Death
But Death is a part of Life
