the thin line between life and death

standing still right on the edge
one step further or a retreat is
the thin line between life and death

the colossal mountains, with numerous streams
merging into the rampant river flowing in between
as different experiences form a story,
and these countless stories  become a dream
a dream lived and a dream unheard of
what is perceived and what is seen
is the thin line between real and believed

the rising sun, brightens the horizon
as dark clouds envelope the vision
what has happened and what is revealed
every conclusion takes two different means
i accomplished or i didnt take the test
the thin line between failure and success

walking along a long winding road
top of the hill , on the snow
an ignorant move and there i see you go
i reach out with my hand to bring you back once more
how you held her and how she holds you now
is the thin line between love and sex

the magnificent meadows, the splendid terrain
the snow covered mountains, the beautiful rain
you hold on to the visions, and anticipate a few more
memories of the past or the anxieties of the future
to be held  up in these thoughts or to just let go
is the thin line between bondage and freedom

move as directed or make your own road
do as per the others or write your own code
follow what is taught or teach them something new
see what is shown or show what you saw
To think with the heart , you think with your head
 the thin line between life and death
