the line between the light
as close to darkness that looms
the line between life and death
so thin as spider webs
so frail as aged hands
mourn not for it the line breaks
or if the bar breaks,
for its a transition
from life so long
to end so peaceful
thin line indeed!
for when it draws near
hopefully meeting the oracle
who decides when the line breaks
is not as tragic as presumed.
do not loose until I have loosed
all bounds holding me
from bearing fruits
to leave to generations to come
extinction may draw near;
yet I stay clear,
waiting patiently;
for my thin line
to one day loose; so I may find rest,
in peaceful abode so clear
this thin line is the line between life and death, between light and darkness.
life is light; darkness is death.
I pray on!
