I didn't get to read this right away and I'm glad I found it again.
Yup, this is a winner alright! I loved it. Before you told what you thought the gap meant, I gave it some thought for a few seconds. I figured that it was a hopeful sign, that there would be an exit for us out of this nightmare, or an answer to whatever personal stuff each of us may be dealing with.
I wasn't too far off from what you were saying.
I was good that you mentioned that although there would no doubt be other fences along the way, we should look at them as possibilities.
The other line that resonated with me had to do with the forever limit being flattened in an instant. I just finished having an experience of that very thing, where some burden I'd been carrying for a very long time, went up in a puff of smoke, no longer an issue, just after I was able to verbalize what it was to a close friend. The feeling of being liberated was palpable.
I love hearing your experience of reading the poem in real time! Isn't it magic, how words allow us to step inside someone else's head?? And I'm happy to know that your burden evaporated just like that. Again the power of words, this time spoken aloud.
Thank you for sharing my work; it helps me so much!
