29. Al’-Adl – Putting things in order

Suggests balance, mediation, harmony, reintegration - 'Only when you 
are empty are you at standstill and balanced' Kahlil Gibran 

Down’s balance
When muscles are loose
and joints a bit shaky,

standing feels safe,
tipping forward’s dodgy

but, for strangers, you'll walk
or run from your silence;

smile like a torch
and hug – they need balance.

Phew
The moon’s a cube tonight
- so square I drop back in my
house – terrified by corner, angle!

I have another look outside,
pulling back my floral nets -
thank God the corners have evolved
- the moon become a parallelogram,
a few new stars chipped off!

And, as the moon descends,
it turns and squashes
back into that perfect O
I used to know
and sinks, a lonely tear,
down into a slowly rising sea.

Not Seven

I’ve
always had a
love for the figure
eight, because of the
balancing skill we
require to get
two

orbs
settling into
place, firstly earth
below(a belay point)
and above a circle
connected into
God.

  1. The moon, a perfect O, the lonely tear. . .beautiful, to borrow sorrow from nature and to repay is to glean ears of poetical corn to feed the kids of poor memory. . .
