A Distance Maintained

A distance maintained to honor unspoken rules and commandments
Guidelines accepted by the majority of searchers
Despite temptation and the urgings of others
For the betterment of life ..... Or is it?
The inner yearnings fail to recognize these supposed truths
Yet concious and wisdom suggest absolute morality, an adherence to the norm
You don't need the agony yet contemplate possibilities and doubt
Thankful that they can't monitor the mind and submerged desires
Maybe in a different time and place all would be fine
You were once young and bold and despite occasional fears, willing to take a chance
On life, on love
On a heart filled with contentment
Over rapidly passing years you realize it's all changed
Possibilities became taboo amid warnings of eternal scorn
It was never your way to challenge these things

Unknown Date

Not sure what I was initially thinking but what comes to mind after reading these words today ..... There are some words and reactions that maybe only apply to one day in a life. What's applicable for today may have no meaning tomorrow. Or ever again for that matter. Abstract truths may have a short life span.
