balance

So I've decided t that this blog is suppose to be a place for me to show/express thing that are striking or important to me. I therefore will be posting more often. I also want to know peoples thoughts on idea, if you feel so inclined.
Now for the post.

Poem

Did you do this?
Could you do it now?
Directing your tasks,
Asking that and
This, waiting for the home.
The order to stay,
But Shoes are strewn
Socks dirty
Kitchen a mess
I like the mother see,
The tasks you left,
When you dream.

A moment we are together,
But now It’s gone.

I cry
A child, lost.
Wanting and suppressing.
It’s not mine to ask,
But I long for it all the same.
Your time,
The shelf I can’t reach.
Your attention
The item I can,
but know I’ll get caught.
I am still young.
I don’t know the words to say,
Desires are nameless,
Yet you ask,
Silence replies.
I cannot help it,
It’s real and out of reach.

Your attention hard to steer.
Can’t you see the future?
Consequences? Deadlines?
No, it takes time
It takes growth.
You are the son.

I lay on your lap,
You hold me together
Guard me from the darkness
That reaches.
I tell you about the darkness,
You only partially see.
Protect me.
I am the daughter.

Balance, Balance!
The scales in motion long to stop.
Then we see our eyes,
And create,
Finally one.
