Balance

everything restores itself

Tell them,

The sun stealers,

The night keepers,

That even if the North Star changes clothes

And the Big Dipper disappears, silver ladle blackened,

East will always find West again

As the sun kisses our skin

And polishes our crowns.

Reeds will always thatch again

No matter how they may cut them down.

For thieves can never steal

A kingdom whose roots come

From any ground.

About the Creator

R.C. Taylor

I write to invoke, to process, to honor, to resurrect, and—sometimes—to grieve but, above all, I write to be free.
