Michael Degenhardt Poet Rhyme

Either Side of the Fence

A fence is there dividing lives; 
                what’s fantasy, 
                                what’s true

When I choose, 
                which side to stand, 	
                                 both sides, they both have you

A mere grey line
	it so exists
                                 it keeps all things in check

But when I see
	your smiling face
                                 I say, “oh, what the heck!”

It sends the message to someone that they are truly the light that brightens ones dreary days. I love it. Smiles from Lolita
