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!

To strike a balance between the life's extremes is extremely important for a life to be successful, and that is why the middle course is the best.
