A VERY FINE BALANCE
by John Yeo

He sees the world with unique eyes.
The eyes of youth, full of his personal view,
selfish to the point of careless.  
He is aware of his own perspective
on the events in this uniquely individual world.
Everything seems fine, no matter what,
he always seem to survive.
Tomorrow is another day!
A day that never arrives they say.

Reality reflects a different view.
A view from the outside looking in
Although he casts a long straight shadow
The stairs leading up shape another view.
Teetering on the brink of a downward fall.
A fall that will certainly come

A very fine balance.

SEA SALT
by John Yeo

The waves of change came suddenly
Smoothing the sands of time.
Sea salt was the bounty harvested,
On the family production line.

The head of the family at the helm
Kept the workers and colleagues in line.
Tragedy came with death in the family.
Rough times ahead was the sign.

A once strong unity disintegrates
In the granules of unity unrefined.
Chaotic influences out of control
Destroyed a once strong family line.

Each faction headed, unrest rebounds
The sea washed away without a sign.
Rubbing salt in the reopened wounds
On the once strong production line.
