Where am I?

Where am I?
I am not at the beginning,
that time of butterfly uncertainty.
I am not at the end,
with its sweet sorrows of parting.
I am not at the end of the beginning,
where the plans are formulated and the future looks bright.
I am not at the beginning of the end,
where that final five percent will need superhuman effort to
subjugate.
I am not in the middle,
where the initial uncertainties are resolved,
where those really tricky problems have not yet put their heads above
the parapet,
where the euphoria of just doing, is so enervating,
where great strides of progress are so seductive,
where there is a continuum of comfort.
I am neither at the beginning nor the end.
Neither the extremities nor the centre.
It is that place between,
where the end is past and the beginning has yet to come,
that place and time of anticipation,
that place and time of unknown horizons.
