Equipoise

A body out of balance
A mind out of focus
A spirit bereft of resolution
Is equilibrium the key?
The tripod sits on ever shifting sands
There's the conundrum
Progressive disease defies equilibrium
Counterbalance becomes futile
Equipoise versus equilibrium
A subtle difference there -
Equal poise
Two pregnant words
To cherish a beleaguered body
To repose an unquiet mind
To acknowledge each of many losses
To honor them
To greet them as skillful teachers
Many poises abide in wholeness

    Even if that is so, your poetry channel is functioning beautifully.
