Pendulum ball

I am the center pendulum ball
That stands Semi in rhythm and aware
I am the piece that takes the souls and keeps with every flare
I bare my own to have it thrown 
back at me in glare 

All I am is the one that holds 
the impact of each belief 
as it were my own to keep 
and shine as my own dark grief 

My inner "can" and desire to be more 
than a pause of bandaid relief 
I Stand in balance that's thrown one side 
I am not a power thief 

Still there's putting no stop or halt 
to a motion that's not mine bestowed 
Yet I should take pride to shine 
To be the center that energy flowed

Yet I bare this equally sharp return of impact of west and east
As the pendulum that is meant to keep us paced 
brings with it a smashing beast
not one of slight or one of ease still i stand as I was placed

I am the center pendulum ball that braces what its thrown
I keep yours and yours and absorb as mine 
and I know how the energy's grown
I am fine with this and all I ask that I'm shined from time to time 
let me be the center ball and please aim to break the line.
