This poem is a mixture of metaphors... Confusing is an understatement. Generally, I believe that if you have to explain it, most likely it is poorly written and that may well be the case here. However, I believe that this one can be interpreted several different ways. Originally, my interpretation followed the poem, but early reviews seemed to suggest that to be a mistake. I therefore removed them.
Sometimes I think we're all betwixt and between, and until we learn to accept and be comfortable with that (the mystificatin), life will be verybhard to understand, thatb is until you realize that life is not to be understood, it is to bem lived.
Your poem tickled my mind around the edges and left me wondering if what I perceive the poem to mean is correct or not! I will read it over several times until my mind snaps firmly into focus to reveal the truths spoken in your excellent poetry. I have been ill for several days and not really feeling up to doing reviews, but I always have to see your work! Joy L. Hale
These thoughts you've expressed are my nightly routine...when I have a restless night and lie there thinking....just thinking...The past, the present, what will be.....Thought provoking write. WEll done Richard!
I have to comment on this poem. I'm just a reader here, not a poet or writer myself, so I have ceased commenting on things I read here but I have to say that I just love this poem and I GET IT and would have, even without your interprtation. I also agree with it completely. Great work!
w-i like this--with or without the interpretation!

I'm aghast. Quite literately. I would never be so bold as to interpret my poetry, it's bad enough that other people do it. If I were to try, I'm afraid of what I might find. You rock!
