Balance Between Life's Extremes Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Balance Between Life's Extremes
The left and right hands' resting point,
Piano player's middling point,
The middle octave's note called C,
And marked white all over the key—
Piano learners' first lesson
To be learnt by fingers on run—
A lesson, life's mid-point to learn,
A point in between a twain extreme,
Cream if you know, if not so grim,
Else, rudderless in life to turn!
Ah, middle octave's C,
Music's most middling key
That links lower octave— no grave,
With one craved by baritones brave.
