in the balance
words said and not said
emptiness
walking an empty road
seeking what cannot be found
a balancing act
sunrise and sunset
the equinox is balanced
spring and autumn
put in the balance
happiness and heartache
in daily life
anticipating results
losing equilibrium

Beautifully written, and I love the gorgeous scales. Words not said are always a mystery, subject to our own interpretation–and they can leave us feeling empty.

The balance of happiness an heartache in life is a hard one to balance. Seek and ye will find..the Bible doesn’t say when….preferably not just before one’s expiry date:)

LOL … yes, I think definitely before one’s expiry date … harmony would have been a better word for me in the post actually … like some classical pieces … the crash of storms and then the sweet serenade – pianissimo after the storm.
