Balance Between Life's Extremes - Ii Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Balance Between Life's Extremes - Ii

Rating: 4.0


Ah middle octave's musical note C,
Balancing pirouetting hands' resting point,
Marked white, the composition's central key—
Piano players so as it appoint.
The beginners' first lesson, middling joint,
Watering hole for fingers to return
To, a lesson of a lifetime to learn—
That life's opposites tend to dwell extreme,
A rudder that won't let life wide off turn,
Buddha's middling poise, workout in life's gym!
