Tipping Point…

The beautiful evening sun being gobbled, at the sunset,
Abysmal darkness to follow, with mysteries aplenty,
The first ray of sun, breaking through the dark skies
With a hope and promise for an amazing new day!

Water at the freezing point, turning to ice, and the water
At its boiling point, tumbling over to vapour; all to self-preserve;
The first sprout, from the frozen ground, announcing stridently,
Arrival of Spring, for there can never be a perpetual Winter!

Mother Nature, an egalitarian, does her balancing act to perfection;
Planktons, Algae, Larvae, Mosquitoes, Frogs, Snakes, Owls, Eagles;
Predator and the prey, hunter and the hunted – a balanced ecosystem,
An act of God created, when the equilibrium of nature, disturbed!

The falling leaves of Autumn, to self-protect from long cold winter,
The barren trees, waiting for a fresh Spring, to rejuvenate;
When human mind, ever so fragile, ready to break, tumbling balance;
From sanity to insanity, world of cacophony, hallucination and taboo!

Contemplation in a jiffy, with precise execution, to the mortal end,
The crossover from strong to weak or is it the vice versa?
For the poor delirious mind, know not the difference, of its doing
Its balance tipped, and a precious life lost forever, in an abyss!

Every breaking point, an unbalance at the core, a stance to preserve,
Fragile mind, a lost soul, longing for a long lost past, a broken heart,
A beautiful mind, in choking restlessness, searching for the all elusive –
Only needing a compassionate companion, when at its tipping point!
