Equilibrium
(By Annette Covey)
A place of equilibrium is what I strive to keep
Avoiding negativity I do not wish to weep
It isn’t over positive this strive for middle ground
A place of calm and peace the feelings that are found
I face up to reality; I’ll accept my neutral place
I need to feel acknowledgment around the things I face
The weighing of the scales, a balance point I reach
I might share something with you while aiming not to preach
We cannot always fix things but accept the broken bits
Forces pull, influences push, until we call it quits
A place of poise and balance, a unity in Faith
Stay with me equilibrium and help me to feel safe
Another touching, insightful, beautiful poem, Annette. It not only relates to suicide loss but to other life challenges too. Thank you 💗
