Edwin Markham

Outwitted by Edwin Markham
He drew a circle that shut me out -
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout,
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him in!

Equilibrium

Equilibrium

I am the weight hanging on a chain linked to God.
God sustains to center point
I swing from end to end.

I extend to the tip of the arc;
God comes along, firmly attached to my middle
And tugging at the end of the stretch.

I fling past the medium
Barely catching my balance before I am off again
Flying futher up and further away on the other side.

Back and forth: joy versus grief, peace versus torment.
Back and forth: growth versus stability, dreams versus apathy.
Back and forth: alone versus company, energy versus exhaustion.

Will the waltz slow as I grow old?
The connection to heaven will tenderly guide me
With grace to perfect equilibrium.
