Fulcrum Upon the Shelf

Where can I find the Fulcrum,
Fragile quantum singularity?

Is it tangible? Can it be held --
Within my weakened grasp?
Is it visible? To fetch the eye --
The iris of a tired traveler?

Why do I struggle to attain
Simplicity others judge innate?

In prayer, I find solace --
In solitude, at my wits end!

Heaven lead this enervated soul
Have mercy on my fragile heart
Grant a moment's rest from The Chaos:

penetrating each grain of sand...
...whispering in the distance...
...ominous creaking from the Fulcrum.
