So true, very thin line between life and death. I loved how you skillfully econocomised words but still wrote a great write.

the simile in the second stanza is very interesting, it makes me think of how brittle the barrier between life and death is and how we often think about the concept of death and dying. A simply written poem, but also a very thought provoking one.

Once again, you've presented a brilliant concept in a beautiful poem. Great work.

I like it, i like how it flows and ends abruptly with the word 'dead' read in the three stanzas, it reinforces the feeling of dead, dead, dead.

Very good poem, dark yet unavoidable subject matter lends such strength to it, wonderfully written.

Unwritten Soul 04 September 2011

You know Dave, when i read this i remember something i call a way of life...For me we now walking in a narrow road, we walk through it and called it as the age..Our the left side is dead and right is life...we dont know when we will meet the end of the road, we now on the right side but maybe sooner we flip to the left and death is our next road...the death road still a mystery road, coz whoever use the road ever back to life road...i wonder what it bring us...Back to the present we walked so far, some people walk too far in this very narrow road till all hair turn grey some still young...will we shaking and give up (with life challenge) before we end the road...So mystery and you now remind me..like this write_Unwritten Soul
