Normality

Normality, that period between sanity and insanity.
The place our mind resides, directing our daily lives.
Fleeting moments of serenity, free from all other emotion; 
when euphoria sets us free to dream, reminds of our sanity.

Moments of diabolical fear and remorse; the dark side 
of doom and gloom, reminding insanity awaits in the wings.

Normality, the referee defining our humanity, 
giving us our faults and desires in regulated doses.

Occasionally, giving us a glimpse of heaven and of hell.
