Middle path

Excess of indulgence
And the dearth of necessity
Both bring pain and misery

The law of nature
And diversity of manifestation
They underline the harmony of creation

Walk the middle path
Lest on either side you fall
With future uncertain and not sure of your walk

Take a flight far off at your own risk
But if you lose the way
All is lost

Slow is the middle path
And one may hasten somewhat
But wise shall never digress too much

When back is strong one stands erect and tall
He may  bend a little
But to perform a good task

Wise stick to middle path
With every step they walk
So truthful and natural they are

Every day is new and one stands renewed
Nature unfolds its secrets in full view
Those who tilt miss or have a partial view!
