Pendulum

The pendulum swings to the left
To the right
And for a moment in time
It strikes

The perfect balance
In center
Reveling Equilibrium

A moment in cycle
Steady symmetry

It’s you
It’s me
Gravity determinded
What others only see

For
Seconds
Of time
Displacement fought
Masked in every direction
See through their reflections

Yet pivot’s restored
The force
Our gravity
The Glory and trifle
A weight of love

Swung on a string
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back
And
Forth

Will we learn?

Shorten the string
Heighten the weight
Of passion
I’m so tired of
Suspension

Let friction bring
Back to center
I long for rest
In position
