Primal Rules/poets united midweek motif/ Life: Paradox and/ Or Balance

Poets United Midweek Motif ~ Life: Paradox And / Or Balance

 

 

Primal Rules

 

I have decided 

There are all kinds of rules

But “primal rules”

Are rules we learn from the earth

 

Perhaps first there is gravity

Gravity holds our feet to the ground

Keeps us from flying

Helps us to be grounded

 

Then there is value

Light to dark

Sunrise to sunset

Sunlight and shadows

 

Space seems important

Right from the beginning

We investigate the space

We find ourselves in

 

Then there is balance

If we lean too far to the right or left

We balance ourselves right away

Without balance/We fall down/Crash!

 

A lesson in beauty 

Is what is before us

And if we see it

Really see it

It is all that is needed

Gravity, value, space and balance are primal rules indeed. And sometimes they work in sequence, in tandem, or all at once--though I rarely see them outside each other's company.

Nature is really good at showing us what is really needed.

Some people never learn the primal rules. How sad is that?

The secret is to be embrace all those rules and throroughly enjoy life in all its aspects. Poets are particularly lucky as they can play with words to amuse other people.

Yes. The beauty of what is before us is all that is needed. This simple truth is the secret of happiness.

Those primal rules can guide our life through paradox and towards balance.

You are right. "A lesson in beauty" is all we need to have. The first stepping stone of civilization. Such a beautiful poem!
