The struggle between good and evil is timeless and endless, this side of heaven at least. And in this vast universe, opposites are everywhere. Great message by the way.

dearest Sotto-your poem gave me pause as I pondered the relationship of fate and hate...reminded me of my college philosophy classes. Are fate and hate dichotomies or does a cause & effect relationship exist between the two? Some people hate their fate which suggests they're not ware that they can control their lives. I liked "there is both time & space, only drowsiness in between." A brilliantly constructed poem with profundity. Hope you're having a pleasant day, your poetess friend in Texas

I'm vast. Are you vast?

a profound poem with a deep message, i am not sure how fate and hate can be two opposite options though... we should always try to be in control of our live, but it can be difficult just like our emotions..

Oh this is quite an introspective and insightful piece.. With so many philosophical tones layered between wise phraseology, as always. This certainly compelled me to read it twice in order to fathom its poetic richness and meanings.. Truly, a profound write, dear Sotto.. "There is both space and time Only drowsiness in between" Living in vastness holds higher depth.. Making the best of memories in every moment whilst we don't get stuck in the strict edges.. Brilliantly crafted this is!

Im literally going through drowsiness right now dr poet, hah,so that line resonates although you didnt mean it in that way. This is such a profound write with a touch of philosophy in it, and one that would get readers to ponder upon. Definitely made me think and i agree, with the message you’ve passed on. Why not give freely too, live wholeheartedly while you can, a poem that i would read maybe more than twice and decipher deeper meanings. Pleasure reading.and you do free verse very well too
