The Pendulum - Day 1
The pendulum swings
Back and forth and to and fro
The universe sings
And life continues the ebb and flow
Catastrophe strikes
Push and pull, tossed to and fro
Your universe fights
Equal, opposite the ebb and flow
Then an outside force
Strong but calm, from deep within
Readjusts the course
Peace, be still. Breathe out then in
The pendulum swings
Back and forth, but wider now
Your universe sings
Richer, deeper, life moves on somehow.

@firststeps this was awesome! Great flow here and deeper meaning regarding how life broadens when we open things up and become gradually more aware.
Loved your form and rhyme scheme and great image choices :-D
I often think of the metaphor of a pendulum for our reality, especially existence in the physical world.
Could you also add the day number in your title? It will help us find these posts. Also, what category do you consider yourself (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced?)
Thanks for your encouraging comments. I added the day. I would consider myself intermediate.
