The Zone - (A Poets Poem)

Is this life?
I'm on the verge of it all
as I peak,
All questions forwarded to the nature of being;
in the latter? 

Opinion 
Down-played

Is this the path destined to answers? 
 
I hold to the inevitability of change 
I only questions things that remain the same

The constant

The Zone

 To achieve is to reveal the unanswered 
A predetermined judgment of society's answer

The norm

That which is theological, only exist in the zone

In truth

In harmony

Theories molded by unresolved visions

It’s Logic

It’s Life

It’s the Zone
This is the zone ...Unmeasured

 Where circumstance is the victim

 Unlimited boundaries drawn in respect to what we 
 Bring to the zone
 
 The fear is what we take from it

Balance maintained on the waves of emotion 
A consistency that can only be achieved 
In between...
