This is so true....! It cannot be better put in such few words! Tension is like a rope strangulating most of the humans now! As years go, tension mounts!

Sometimes, you have to put a little water in your wine to settle the differences. Flexibility!

High imaginative poem. The poem is in concise but meaning is vast. It has been wisely penned. Two words -'taut' and 'rip' make the poem abyss. Many thanks dear Lemon, for posting such a gem. Full vote.

hope that rope is strong enough. otherwise as you said... so tension is good for connection! ! or it is not! ! we should check and repair to avoid erosion. so many meanings and dimensions of linking and loosing, I am thinking and reading after reading this beautiful piece of art.

Thank you so much, Muhammad. Yes, it is in the nature of that tension to bring the good and the bad. Let us hope we are able to recognize the differences and the nuances.
