The Messy Middle

Poetry for the Soul

Photo by Amauri Mejía

It's the messy middle
Where our power really lies
The daily
Small and mundane
Choices
Decisions
That make us.

They are the pieces
That make a life
Come together
Slowly
Revealing a bigger picture
Like a 100,000 piece puzzle
Small images
Coming together
To reveal
Ever bigger pictures
All the while...

The messy middle
Is where the fun is
Where the unknown unfolds
Where magic is
Where our power is
Where each piece placed
Moment by moment

Is where we play
Where we dance
Where we sing
Where we feel
Where we laugh
Where we cry!

What a delight
What an adventure
What a dream
To be a Human
Being.
