Poetry About Equilibrium

The scale trembles before both pans agree. In the sealed flask, two reactions trade places. A heron corrects itself against the wind. Stillness is often motion held in answer. Each side gives exactly what the other takes. Equilibrium lives by adjusting without rest.

Look again from the quieter edge. In the sealed flask, two reactions trade places. A smaller detail changes the whole scene. Stillness is often motion held in answer. Attention loosens the first easy answer. Equilibrium lives by adjusting without rest.

The scale trembles before both pans agree. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. A heron corrects itself against the wind. It returns us to balance, opposing forces, stability, chemistry, motion, and the living adjustments that keep systems whole. Each side gives exactly what the other takes. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
