Equilibrium

Legacy's level

glued to top

of one's head,

unable to read

its measurements.

Harmony taught by those

who've never seen

their own tools.

Eyes always facing

mentor's lips,

so no one notices,

they are standing

on a hill.

Happiness comes

from perfecting balancing act

instead of posture intuition.
