SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE
(poem for faith)
Somewhere in the middle
Are the answers to all the riddles
Somewhere at the center
Is the faith of heroes and mentors
Somewhere not at either end
Is a place where the scales do not bend
Somewhere near middle grey
Is the time of a raceless day
Somewhere at 25 degrees
Is where tempers cool and wars cease
Somewhere deep in my heart
Is the place I need to start
Somewhere in the silk of love
Is the home of the white dove.
