Is equilibrium reached,
By a homogeneous reality,
Or by the separately unique,
Ticking of time?

Is equilibrium reached,
By a unified singularity,
Or by the exquisitely different,
People of mankind?

Is equilibrium reached,
By a simple harmony,
Or by the complexly intertwined,
Thoughts of the mind?

Can equilibrium be reached?
Or is it something unfathomably,
Unreasonably, untouchably,
Pure and diverse?

This is so deep I think it went over my head somewhat....but I understand little bits of it. Great job! The word choices that you use are beautiful.
