A Riddle - Nada Clyne

[Lawrence Robinson]

A Riddle

I am too absent
To be present.
I am too present 
To be absent.

So I am in the middle
Where emptiness and everything 
Balance on the fulcrum
Of being and becoming

Here, in the innocence
Of not knowing
Silence tiptoes
To the edge of sound

And a hum begins,
So soft and beguiling
Resonance upon resonance,

Vibration layering itself
Upon itself
Gaining momentum,
Shimmering into existence

This moment!

And here’s the riddle -
Who lives in the middle?
