Poetry by Linda Imbler
As one breathes in
the beauty of nature,
and life’s greatest treasures,
another breathes out,
and all becomes still,
as they go into memory.
One falls down,
the fault of such action
being tricky to discern,
the wayside becomes the lover
as the faller clings to the ground.
Another stands up,
rises to greet the day
and to face adversity.
All of us on life’s great footpath,
going the same direction,
albeit at different speeds.

There’s a harmony in this, with pairings of actions and results, and with the various players and actions that complement each other, regardless of pace.
Enjoyed the dynamic in the poem, the yin and yang of life.
