Lines To A Poet Of Middling Age

You are now too old
to indulge in arrogance

and yet you are too young
to have anything to be arrogant about

you are in mortal peril
at the midpoint of a life
which is not a life

which has no past and no future
for you are not present in it

yet grace abounds
and with it, poetry


  Time humility Grace
