This grabbed me: “Then I might know like water how to balance The weight of hope against the light of patience”

My favorite lines too.

Same couplet resonated in me:

Then I might know like water how to balance

The weight of hope against the light of patience

And the rhyming works, as it supports rather than competes with the imagery and the sense of the poem.
