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!
And there's the beauty in these primal rules!
