Midlife: Living in the Middle


When winter feels like
black and white
I wish I could remember
spring's color and light.
 
When my choices are down
to a yes or a no
I wish I could take
the poet's choice of a middle road.
 
When my numbers only
range from 0 to 1
I wish I thought of
the value of infinity and its beyond.
 
When I balance between
all or nothing
I wish I saw the expanse of
a whole lot of something.
 
When I feel I'm on
the edge of life or death
I wish I could stop and
focus on a single breath.
