The old timey scale
Oscillates to reach tranquility.
Weight supports weight
Mass fights mass. 
But balance isn’t this simple.
Self-worth is bound to the significance of action.
Focus on one aspect and
The other always seems to get pushed away.
Reset your focus, and a new aspect takes the spotlight.
How does one live in the present
When the past and future are so alluring?
Push away the past
Push away the present
Push away the future
And you are not whole.
Balance is not this old timey scale.
Responsibilities are not a stationary bar of gold,
Interests are not a cluster of rubies.
Oscillate to yearn for tranquility,
It will never be reached, it will simply be approached.
