LIFE AND LINE

 

LIFE AND LINE

Immensity of courage provocative,

Minuscule enthusiasm, reactive

Tidal waves, the urge surge, spread,

The crescendo at seaside and fade, (1)

 

Horizon, the boundary at a distance,

Memories, the past, pleasure, scar,

Hazy line, unambiguous or remind,

Forgotten incidents, name or kind, (2)

 

A long road rising steeply to a peak,

Down the hill rolls quickly, a trick,

Milestones show turning points,

Borderlines barricades save paint, (3)

 

Miraculously, human life resembles,

The road without fencing crumbles,

The chasm of evil and nobility hints,

The line unmarked savior, instinct, (4)

 

The riverbank shows a shore well,

Flow like breaths, breached, fail,

Barometer forecasts the weather,

Heart rate, temperature, and fever (5)

 

A red line between lies and truth,

Men spare their lives, hide both,

A distinct division between visible,

Passion and detachment, terrible, (6)

 

Life smiles, often cries, miracles,

The knife has a straight edge angle,

The palm has lines or fingertips,

A shadow of human line pricks, (7)

 

Why is the nose straight, erect spine?

Curiosity pervades, life and line,

To bend, surrender, and stand to win,

Hazardous ideas dilemma between. (viii)
