All the universe seeks balance.

Fluids mix until floating in homeostasis.
Energy flows until locked in polarity.
Molecules receive covalent bonds.

All the universe seeks balance.

Prey struggles in the spider`s web.
Water tumbles down rock walls,
flowing toward its own level.

All the universe seeks balance.

Worlds collide with violent intent.
Air conspires with fire to
destroy all in its path.

All the universe seeks balance,
and has not found it yet.

Though in places changeable and ever moving
the universe offers glimpses of
what that balance might look like,
until swept away by the agents of change.

I found a hummingbird nest on the ground this morning,
blown from the branches by last night`s wind.
Come spring, the bird will assess this universe and
rebuild in a place where place and nest balance -- for a time.
