More prose poetry... haven't written any on WC for, oh, ten years... might be another ten years before I attempt it again. Critiques and comments welcome.

there is such a thin gray line, or maybe a thick gray line between right and wrong.
Universally people want that clear cut division...black and white....
but matters are not that simple...and when people live with expectations of life being perfect,
full of clear choices....Good luck with that.

I usually attempt some poetic writes to jog my other writing. I read other poets here, but I don't usually comment because I'm not versed (no pun) in the forms of poetry to do so. Your interest is very much appreciated.
I only understand about half of this . . . the part that's crystal clear & obvious. I'm catching the heartbeat of how it can be when two can come together, not wanting something from one another, not expecting the union to make them complete, but just to enjoy however that other person may be manifesting at any given moment. In short, expectations suck (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
Outstanding poetry my friend.
"Antithesis: Set against place
Place: a point in a dream
Set Against: a duality
dream duality: nightmare
awaken, breathe, see.
Let It Be"
The above lines. Words to live by. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I don’t believe myself to be a poet, but attempting to write poetically helps expand my thoughts and ignite my words to reapply toward my fiction stories. I’m happy when some of my thought expressed this way, speak to the reader. A sincere thank you.

Your last five lines holds the answers.. perhaps. Or are they statements speaking out, defying argument!
Considering the quote 'to each his own', is there a right and wrong in life.. other than murder, treason or utter indifference to both the former?
You might not write poetry, but oh my, can you write non.prose! Good to see you here after so long.

Yes, to each his own, and we should make choices that lead to more choices, but if they are the “right” choices, they will point in one direction, not in contradictory directions. Or so I feel. Thanks for the read and stopping by.

Has always been a stop worth making. Take care, keep safe. Please
