I.
The dirty stove (her job) competes with the uncleaned floors (his job)
for most neglected surface,
but the winner is her skin.
Emotions balance and unbalance, shifting positions and changing sides
Who’s heavier?
II.
It turns out the buoyant boy can sink,
while the puffer fish moves towards the surface.
Not too close because pressure is dangerous,
but so is lack of pressure.
She has spent her life in pitched and rolling seas
unable to see through the shadows ahead.
Uncertainty is her anchor.
In a life with nothing approaching stability,
new things are not only good, but preferred.
Against the dark now
an unknown future always looks brighter.
Well done Reg, you've done a good job, using words is definately a talent you have.
Effective expression of how the emotions contrast between "unknown" from a place of turmoil and "unknown" from a place of stability.
Very Nice, Thanks for postinG
