What middle can be found

To think without thought
to speak
without words

A marvel to be held
as you close your eyes
to the truth

A spoken phrase slashes
a written word burns
A well spoken person
Who  never truly learns

Open and closing
the  world becomes small
destroying the foundations
that hold up
us all

Victory and failure
the beginning and the end
The dismay that your feelings
were never your true friend

Alone and sorry
Darkness with no light
No great social struggle
no victorious fight
