Scaling the balance.

Scaling the balance.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

I was balancing
my knowledge
on one hand
buying the book,
while on the
other hand
I read them.
The more space
I had for books
the need for quieter times
rose with a louder mind.

I'm reminded of the saying:" It is not what you read, but what you understand and take away."
We do need the balance between books, time and space to rest our minds. Knowledge is power so do your poetry.
