“A Thin Line”


There is a thin line
Between life and death
Between good and bad
Between love and hate
The beginning or the end
The thin line between life and death
Is only a breath away
Only a heartbeat away
The blink of an eye away
A moment of calculation away
But that thin line could be mile's apart
That thin line ..a phone call away…rescue 911
One right move could make the difference
Between life and death
Right or wrong
One wrong move could mean the end
The end of a precious moment
The end of a precious life
The end of a precious future
Or that could mean the end
The end of time a joyful journey
The end of the will to live on
The end of heartache and pain
The end of a wonderful love to gain
The right move could mean endless happiness
The right move could mean trust and faith
The right move could be the thin line
Between life and internal death
It could mean a bright new beginning
The right move could mean a wonderful smile
All of this is called between right or wrong
The thin line between life and death
The wrong move can't make things right
The right move will make the difference
Between life and death
Between right or wrong
To hold on to or let go
Of that thin line between
Here and there a yes or no
(this is a wake - up call to all)

You are right about those thin lines. Sometimes we blur those lines to fit our needs and wants. Sometimes we ignore or realize too late that we are not the Almighty Creator of any line. Let us hope we choose life and it's essence and not cross over those thin lines. Thanks for sharing this much needed write.

The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference, but there is certainly a thin line between every aspect of life, the positive and the negative. I believe we should always try to be conscious of our words, that they not only reflect our personal feelings, but that they, also, are not intentionally hurtful to others. I see a whole lot of "it is my right to say what I think lately" and not a whole lot of kindness being extended or the old "bite my tongue to maintain a peaceful environment" type of thinking. Each coin has two sides, it is true and you explain this so well in this most focused offering, Tinka. Well constructed write.
Take care,
Sherry

There is definitely a thin line between love and hate, Tinky; unfortunately, far too many today seem to be on the wrong side of that line.

A most powerful piece.
