I rewrote this, I posted it on a different board but I saw it had flaws after I wrote it. Here it is. Opinions?

Stasis (revised)

I am in a place of stasis.
I discovered balance between madness and peace.
A unity between order and rampancy.
I see a raging sea,
Black waves crashing violently,
Toppling all in its path,
All except one,
A rock?
No,
An island,
An island of light,
Standing resolute in the turmoil,
Like a lighthouse sending a beacon of hope into the night,
Constant and unwavering.
The seething torrent cannot quench it,
It will not quench it.
No,
It lifts it,
The colorless pit gives the heavenly glow its foundation,
Steadying this statue of serenity like a needle balanced on the water,
Staying afloat without breaking the surface.
Without the black abyss this radiance would collapse,
And yet without the light the dark ocean has no purpose,
Lost within its own emptiness.
I find tranquility it,
This tightrope walk between lunacy and bliss.
Today I am in a place of stasis...

It's a cool little contemporary poem. I understand the metaphor of the island as a peaceful place, contrasting the "black waves crashing violently" (5), but how does that fit into the theme if the character is already in stasis?

Fix up the length of the lines (especially the 2nd), and try to do more with the form. For he who controls form, controls time.
