Equilibrium

by Carolyn Chilton Casas


I want to welcome both – opening
                                      and closing,
the beginning
                                  and the end,
deluge
                              and drought,
things lost
                          and things found.

The bend
                       and the straight road,
time alone
                           and with friends,
birth
                             and death,
softness
                                and rigidity,
growth
                                   and the decline.

How in the same day
                                       the camelia’s green buds
burst out,
                                            and elm’s yellow leaves

rain down.
