Median Meridian Mean...

There is a Middle Road between all Worlds

I know this to be Truth

I have always seen it, glimpsed like a shadow in the corner of my Eye

Everywhere I have ever Looked

Everywhere I have ever Been

Everywhere

I have always felt myself to be

Known my Self to be

Standing to one side or the other of this Lost and Delicate Way

Skipping between the Extremes, always

Too High

or Too Low

too Hard or

too Soft

too Strong or too Weak

Too Much

or Never Enough

a Life Exhausted, leaping Across the Divide

from Mountaintop to Mountaintop

Seeking in vain the peaceful Valley on the Horizon

Always in The Distance

always Almost

never Now

Until

Until

until

until I collapse

until I cannot Go Any Further

until I finally Let Go

and Let My Self Fall

and Slide down the Mountain

because there is Nothing Left for me to do

but Lie Down

and Be Still

and Rest

Eyes Wide to the Sky

along the Middle Road
