BALANCE
the Balance of life swings up and down.
It is shifted by many things…
A lie.
A roll of the dice.
A word spoken in anger.
A judge’s gavel.
All these things and millions more affect the balance of ones life.
The balance hangs over me like a bladed pendulum that swings back and forth.
Will the blade destroy me or will the hand of the Almighty stop its’ momentum.
No one knows what their fate and future are.
Their balance is held in the hand of a woman who covers her eyes and carries a sword.
I ask myself, “Will Justice be blind or will she see the truth and set me free?”
At the end of time when my scale is weighed will I have enough grains of sand to count against the darkness?
Will I ever have balance within my soul?
