Balance

Rumble on, each branch;
One's bloom is a brighter

ray of brilliance,
one shadow a little lighter;

A flutter by and a wasp
then began to dance,

butting into each other
mostly by happenstance.

One tree grows much taller
one star shines more bright,

another night in the garden
it's Saturday's, fight night!

Dog fight, cat fight,
the silliest part's, "foreplay"...

the Art is known, as Boxing,
the "loser" hopes for another day.
