This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.

Divine timing of life’s arduous path
If you dare cross her, feel her wrath
Blind Justice is not what she yields
Punishment swift and even-keeled
Indecision never swaying her choices
Listening to those of enigmatic voices
Dueling natures of darkness and light
Storms raging lightning all throughout night
Unbalanced only when she’s given too much
For no one else has a more loving touch
Never mistake her kindness for weakness
Or penance will shine through all her of sweetness
Then may the odds be ever in your favor
Her strength and resilience will expose a traitor
Delicate balance always in play
Offsetting each other
As the night does the day
As black is to white
And white is to black
Once scales become tipped
There is no turning back
Justice or vengeance
Are they one in the same?
Consequence is the matter
You’ll remember her name

You must’ve known the Libra ⚖️ would never pass up this one!
We can be sweet, we can be kind, but if you piss us off, we’ll bring justice divine 😉
Thanks for reading, Libra season (and thus, Autumn) 🍁 will be among us soon enough! 😊
***Edited to add: Thank you to Kevin, I included his addition at the end, his part is formatted a bit differently. So much appreciated, as always! ❤️

I love these lines: “Indecision never sways her choices,” and “Her strength and resilience will expose a traitor.” True and scary.
Autumn will be upon us soon enough… Noooo… 😱 That’s on September 22; we’re still in summer. 😎

It gets really cold in Illinois, which I don’t mind, but I’m enjoying the summer heat. Fall is beautiful, and I’m looking forward to it—but not just yet.

Hi Rock Girl😊 We musicians know that problem you are in right now. Usually there are a big money involved. I give you an advice. Forget the whole thing, if you show your frustration, this guy gets more satisfaction and will continue. But if you do not react at all he/she must look for some other victim. You should put your posts like this © Divine Justice – Your Name or you also can register your published works. Of course you feel angry and that is normal, but think positively and focus on your art. Wishing you a creative and joyous remainder of this week🌺

Also think about why do you blog, what is your goal. If your goal is getting money, separate your best works and use just your own photos. Make a catalog. Use always the copy right mark and your name. Concider to create another site with your own name where you put your best works which are made solely by you (I mean pictures). Run this site as before but remember (no commercial works here). You need a publisher, they check out different sites so show your best works and your behavior when this kind of things happens (ability to tolerate pressure). Focus on your art and think what you want and make it happen. Be professional 🙂 If you collaborate hire a lawyer…👍

And don’t look at the views or followers, the publishing companies take care of it. Follow your bank account and you are in the right path 😊

You must make it happen, the writing business is pretty much the same as the music business. Focus on your art and you need contacts/manager/publisher. First you must figure out what do you want, then who your customers are then a good plan… and contacts. Okay I must go back to work. Don’t overwork. Stay Cool!

Just still one thing. You don’t need to worry about your works. You have a proof about your works, your computer has saved all data what and when and where you have done something. That’s all. Dream on!!
