When a Fine Line Might Just Make it Okay

Neville

When a Fine Line Might Just Make it Okay

 

Before we go any further

for a moment at least

Maybe it would be a good

idea, for each of us

to consider, all the big dark

secrets we presently keep

Not forgetting of course,

all our little white lies

Before we weigh them all up

and draw a fine line

if we possibly can, beneath

every single one

      You should learn to read between the lines sir Steven

      • orchidee

        Yes, I will read between KP\'s lines when her botox sags! lol. Not only old trout, but wrinkled one too.

            Those fine lines can become apt reminders mon ami that white lies can darken and secrets weigh heavy if mistakenly outed. Good ideas to consider before life gets darkened with too many lines...............x

              .. I like to think of this one, like so many others, as a a filler or fillers .. whilst there is meaning, one also has to look between the obvious lines to see further .. I suppose I could have called them bridges, but guess that would have been a bridge too far .. bless you dear lady of the word .. x

              This is an incredible write, I love it. All the fine lines under our white lies make them a little more bearable, huh? Including, as you say "the big dark secrets that we presently keep". Moving..

                You mistress C are way too kind and far too generous for mere typed thank you's .. 💜

                I try to walk a fine line in life N. As my dog Satuit would say if he had the vocal cords, "wag more, bark less". 😎 Well penned Sir.

                • Neville



                  Bless you & Satuit too ..🐧😎

                  Wonderful poem with a nice deep meaning

                  • Neville



                    How very kind, many thanks indeed MysteryGhost 🙂

                    There is not a line long enough. You have exposed a great human trait. We all keep our secrets deeply hidden in our souls. Oh well, we'll just have to live with them. - Phil A.

                    • Neville



                      So good to hear Phil and thank you sir ..

                      (progression, without assimilation
                      is that 'folly' of youthful verve
                      quick, to look for that next
                      move-on, move past n forget..
                      we, older souls
                      tend to take our time, consolidate
                      whatever we may have gleaned
                      before we set our mind, to cauterising
                      that hurt, we're so eager to shed...)
                      Hyung, I feel your words need to be shared
                      once a month
                      again n again
                      like prescription poetic therapy for all of humanity..
                      thank you!, dear Poet supreme

                      • Neville



                        I am more than honoured my friend and truly .. your words will make the journey to work in a tick seem to fly by ..

                        In moments of absence
                        Coming back
                        To words of wisdom
                        Is truly therapeutic

                        • Neville


                          Thank you its good to have you back, are your exams now behind you?

                          • spilleronsheet

                            Exams are still a month away but anxiety is playing crazy games
