Balance

by Noreen A. Haws

The answer seldom lies

At either end of extremes,

As much as the pattern

Of weave

Can be known

By only seeing the seams.

And the land is not best

For the tilling

On the steep cliffs on either side,

But rather down near the river

Where the valley

Lies rich and wide.
