Harmonic Balance (Brian's Challenge)

I search the heavens for harmonic balance
while the reigning nightmares perpetrate
their cruel and devious missions within me.
I spy the wondrous sparkles of illumination
dancing before my tired focus seeking eyes,
yet then I have the quiet solemn revelation
"Stars have their moment and then they die"
The beauty goes from my vision knowing this
and knowing that tomorrow I will still seek more.

What I seek may not balance with harmony
I've entered a complexity of significant results,
needing to reach levels beyond my own knowledge.
Where it leads me to in momentary reasoning
I couldn't begin to explain in simple terminology,
only thought patterns have eclipsed and demand
that I take notice of their forging presence in my mind.
For now I ride the tide that crests and journeys
me beyond my harmonious desires to somewhere.

Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They're only little tears, darling, let them spill" Nick

Gloria, i enjoyed this one immensely...this reads as a speaker who is at ease with himself searching elusively for "harmonic balance"...love the theme here, for arent all of us like that in one way or another?
