Non negotiable

a line drawn in the sand of time
plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye
curled edge of what’s real what’s not
that line that never should be crossed

plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye
things we’ll forgive but not forget
built an imaginary fence 
washed away by tides yet lingers

curled edge of what’s real what’s not
distinguishing what’s right from wrong
what’s acceptable from what’s not
comes to a full and sudden stop

that line that never should be crossed
willing to turn and start anew
choosing sides for worse or better
a line drawn in the sand of time
