Balance teetering on the
verge of nonexistence…
It
takes effort to find balance within. Sometimes I feel as if I am a ballerina teetering
on the edge of self-destruction. Too much instruction, too much structure,
always distractions, how can one possibly concentrate?
How
can one go within, where balance exists? How often I wish I was one of those
beautiful, unfaltering ballerinas that commend the stage with grace, only the
beauty do I see. “Close your eyes I say just breathe”
Wellbeing
by Kim Buskala
To
create balance
In
ones life
We
must find
The
center of our being
We
must be
Stretched
Bent
Folded
into many layers
We
must be
Examined
and reexamined
We
must be
Unclothed
Exposed
Ripped
open
Raw
Bare
to the bone
Exposed
Lying
in the ditches of our own mind
Balance teetering on the verge of nonexistence
Streams
of blood pooled
Witness
to our own demise
Our lies
Our character tarnished and bruised
To
feel is to believe
To know ones truth
To find our center
where we belong
comfortably
clothed.

Kim Buskala: “I consider myself a free spirit, I fly by the seat of my pants. I have always known that I was going to be married and raise some awesome kids. That I have done. Married to a most forgiving, funny, loving man for thirty-one years and counting. I have also been privileged to stay home and raise two gorgeous daughters ages twenty-four and sixteen. I love nature and all it has to offer. To travel the seven seas from coast to coast, becoming one with culture is always a dream. Jamaica is my happy place where I feel most accepted and at home with myself and others. Africa is a place my heart longs to be, some day I will return and dance to the beat of their drums.” You may connect with Kim via Facebook here, or e-mail her: kbuskala@yahoo.com
