White Light

Being caught in the middle of any conflict is unenviable. People on both sides of it expect us to empathize with their viewpoints and take their sides. How do we walk the tightrope and remain in the white light of neutrality?

It requires tact,diplomacy, and dedication to fairness, all of which are not easy to attain if everyone has strong, conflicting opinions about a situation. It requires a fair consideration of all perspectives. One must draw clear boundaries as well. 

The white light of neutrality is difficult to see, but we must strive to remain in it. Enjoy these free verses. 

White light

Hard to see

Brightness blinds

Shone left

Too dim

To the right

Light 

Shines bright

But not sharp

With touch

of a feather

Light

Shines bright

But not sharp

When left

And right

Are seen

Light

Shines bright

When it reaches

Clear lines.
