March 04, 2005 - Poem

Teach me know when to be content
Teach me when to yearn for more
I know each has its time

Show me the balance in the tension--
Prevent me from tepid stagnation
Protect me from ungrateful dissatisfaction

Each side pulls me
So I do my best to walk the middle, sometimes I lean
This is wrong, I must commit

I am fearful of either side
I know both require sacrifice
I cannot weigh these nebulous things

I wish you would just give me a shove
So I would fall to the side I must go
I know, I know--this is the beautiful gift of free will

Wisdom, guidance, peace, clarity
These I know you give
Please, please--share them.
