Notes About The Poem

Choices

Line of Inquiry:
“Betwixt two thoughts there is a gap
      No illusions therein entrap
 In the time-stretched pause, we then see
      Ego craving is a mousetrap.”

Oh, what a web our choices form
when looking to fulfill a norm.
Do this, do that, which one's the trap?
Which one to do, which one to scrap?

Must soon decide, for time takes hold
of inner cravings to be bold,
for choice of self and not the whole;
to benefit from the set goal.

In choices made, we're not alone;
since others deal with what we've sown.

You are still, in my opinion, one of the best poets on the sight. This is beautiful work and truly a pleasure to read. I have no idea EVER what he wants/likes or what and why he places, but this is already first place to me. CayCay
