The Balance of Things – 26th September 2025

~ shaun tenzenmen

I was working on this poem when the W3 prompt arrived to write about silence and I have somewhat jammed my poem into it, so it doesn’t quite fully meet the criteria but here it is anyway. Above, formatted as desired and below is what WordPress decides to display it like.

Some days are made for speaking, others for silence;
a stride into the spotlight,
a tiptoe back into the shadows.

Some moments call for stepping forward, others for stillness;
a bull entering the ring,
the matador focused.

…….and

Some moments call for stillness, others for stepping forward;
the river doesn’t share any secrets
until it finds the waterfall.

Some days are made for silence, others for speaking;
the words are lost in wonder
until the whisper becomes a roar.
