Thin Line Between

Written during a time of emotional upheaval, Thin Line Between poetically traces the transparently paper-thin line separating love and hate, suffering and despair, inspiration and insight, wisdom and perspective and instinct and Spirit, ultimately illuminating the illusion of absolute separation. Falling in love with an exceptional young woman engaged to another, the author's wrestling with the torment of his unrequited affections compounded by long-standing health ills inspires his maddeningly hop-scotching from one side to the other of the lines 'separating' love from hate and suffering from despair. A philosopher-poet at heart, the author traces this line to its intersection with the others, realizing it ultimately intersects with 'lines' in general. These poems are thereby part emotional outlet and part philosophical quest, walking a path set between what is felt, what is thought, what can be known and the imperative of indomitability; of forever fighting for a brighter future, never fully giving into despair and, when necessary, seeking sanctuary in the calm, quiet center of the storm: the love of Spirit evoked by its endless forms.
