The Pendulum

Like me
You are happy, you are sad
Like a flower
You are blossoming, you are wilting
Like a mortal
You are breathing, you are dying.

Life swings

Back and forth

Like a swaying

Pendulum

Between good and bad

Betwixt black and white

Within time and space

It loops

Holding light and sound

In its delicate arms

It swoops 

Like an eagle reaching for her baby

Like me

You are happy, you are sad

Like a flower

You are blossoming, you are wilting

Like a mortal

You are breathing, you are dying.

My name is Jenim Dibie. I'm a poet and writer. I've written four poetry books so far - Scarcast, The Calligraphy of God, How To Dance In Time, and I just released my fourth book - Birdsongs. I started writing poetry at an early age, and it has been the sole passion of my existence. I’ve written over 500 poems since my childhood. I love writing, music, movies, reading, dancing, and The Office. I decided to start blogging to give the world a warm hug, just as words have embraced me all my life. I hope to one day live in a house by the sea, with 10 dogs, and write a 100 books. May you find color in my black.
