Mean-ing

Meaning's a word with multi-shades:
Enriching life throughout our days;
Approach to life with vicious twist;
A middling way to coexist.

To live within one's means is good,
Regardless how that's understood –
With meaning; in the bounds of means;
Avoidance of excess extremes.

For me, to live in means these days
Of time, and money, resource base
Of energy, capacity,
How far in distance I can see.

As these all shift and change with time,
Both up and down that meaning line,
Gas pedal, brakes – they both help out
As we pursue, then meanings tout.
