The Swinging Pendulum And Its Elusive Equilibrium

Unforgiving heat,

in a lifeless land.

Stretching beyond the horizon,

an endless sea of sand.

The blinding light,

a harsh intense white,

transforms to pin pricks,

piercing the dark freezing night.

In between, briefly,

comes the gentle twilight,

a mellow symphony of colors

an aristic delight.

Savor the transition

between extremes,

for the calm of moderation

is as fleeting as dreams.

The pendulum swings,

fastest past equilibrium,

teasing with a glimpse ,

of the elusive Elysium.

A permanent Elysium,

an absurd contradiction,

for a stagnant paradise,

would be a den of vice.

Change is the only way,

forward to a new day.

Tackling harsh days and nights,

for fleeting glimpses of blissful twilights.

Savor the soft moment

as if it were eternity,

for the next battle begins ...
