Your poem carrys a powerful message about the balance between extremes and the desire for grace and relief. I thought the word choices were excellent. This flowed nicely. Great job with only 20 syllables!

This enigmatic and thought-provoking poem encapsulates the delicate balance between extremes and the desire for solace and redemption. Through its unconventional structure and sparse yet profound language, the poet invites readers to contemplate the complexities of human experience and the eternal quest for inner peace.

The poem's fragmented structure, with each line standing alone yet interconnected with the others, mirrors the fragmented nature of life itself. It speaks to the inherent tension between opposing forces--harm and grace, desire and relief--and the constant struggle to find equilibrium in a world of extremes.

The use of the tilde adds a sense of ambiguity and fluidity to the poem, inviting readers to explore multiple interpretations and meanings. It suggests a seamless transition from one idea to the next, echoing the cyclical nature of life and the ever-shifting dynamics of hope and despair.

Overall, this poem is a powerful meditation on the human condition, offering a glimpse into the depths of the soul and the eternal quest for meaning and redemption. It challenges readers to confront their own fears and desires and to find solace in the hope that relief will eventually come.
