Baalance and perfection is nature's gift. It is to our peril not to heed it.

I believe i have found one in all the beautiful writings you have shared that stands alone that pulls out in front all the rest
each line in this explores so much more than the space it takes and I am in awe~~~
the wondering/wandering throught others most times than not brings question of reality what one see feels to be is it really? that unsure feeling and being goes why beyond self, the body...and your metaphores here are just amazing
i love this piece

This poem has a beat, a tree out there in the distance bears fruit -temptation arrives before apprehension - curiosity seeps juice when teeth grasp, the intravaneous nutrient of fructose in this poem - C6H12O6 is vital "in locating the posture of balance and perfection," Jude...genuine horizons do bear fruit - in the distance - pear-shaped dreams ready for picking - the seasonal canning of collective dreams...

Love,
Sage

"To bear the fruit of genuine horizons " this, in itself, is as complete a directive of creative license as ever was written. I'll save the suggestion for my own visuals and I thank you for this gift.

Balance is difficult, but once balanced - the apprehension is gone. I'm still contemplating all the thoughts that your poem evokes. It says an awful lot.

'Closes on my fingers/Bleeding dreams...' is my favorite phrase. I also like 'what is vital'. Good job.

The continual life cycle of balance of spiritual and physical is hard to capture but this write certainly impacts a statement on the subject. Well done my friend.

"...bleeding dreams of eccentric landscapes..." a mystical tongue telling us that, although panic, "...the apprehension is none..."
Kind of cleverly twisting the brain of the reader with an hidden note.

Good question Jude!
What is vital?
Mindfulness and awareness of every moment? Equanimity of the mind, Perfect Equipoise as Buddhists call it? Meditation eases apprehension ... but ease and deeper insight may never answer why 'light and dark neglect to mobilize to bear the fruit of genuine horizons'
Oh the yin and yang balancing each other... may the black only be a dot to all surrounding white light ... if it's integral to our existence, foundation, essence and needs to be!
Great write! :-D
