A Quiet Balance

By Sharon Lia Robinson

all of my life
I have been
wishing for this star

a natural sense
within me
searching for the way

some bright light
yet not too bright
a soft and gentle breeze
yet the wind not too strong

a balance
between two extremes

finding my place
sharing that place of knowing

finding that purpose
searching with others

giving voice
to the quiet
voice within

through intuition
the magical harmony
repeats itself

until I no longer
hear the discord

a quiet balance emerges
against all odds

I can share
who I am,
against all odds
a quiet balance emerges,
quiet remembrance.
