Note: In this poem the first line of it just popped into my head yesterday evening and the second and third lines I constructed to fit the first over 2 days. I usually pick one version and discard the rest. This time I decided to publish five different haiku poems with the same theme just slightly different wording. I will ask you to pick the poem you think is best. You can tell me which one in the comment section with a number, 1 to 5 if you would be so kind and are willing to do so. I published all five poems on my blog today for the first time on the 12th of August, 2019.

Nice poem!
I like the 2nd one best! I think find a way between being a giver and a taker is as much balance. I think animals have this more naturally within (than our cultural and sociietal upraising) and one can often see how gladly they both give and recieve

Thanks for your reply Magnus.

Version 3, I think. Because I think a lot of the natural balance that comes from within everyone. Every action should be self-determined. Every action should be determined by the own decision of the heart. Very beautiful poem
