Equipoise

My first book is the fruitful sea
the second the abiding shore.

Movement rising power
of kinetic almighty wave

against solid mass of rigid;
immobile reluctant shore.

Forces balanced in equilibrium.

Equipoise state of equality
balance of weight or force;

equilibrium; nature
counterbalances; balance

in social emotional
intellectual influence.
