Betweeness

 

 

Betweeness.

 

Between yesterday
and tomorrow there lies the display
of today\'s fresh bounty
readily able to take a chance
knowing fate brooks no need for delay. 


Between solemn
grey nowness and yonder\'s infinity
distant shores tantalize
where frustration\'s resistance 
obtains no chances to furnish relief.


Between waking
and sleeping there exists somewhere
of rarely dreamed freedom,
an oasis where lonely people
find space to hope one day for care.


Between heaven
and paradise lies the state of wonder 
for solo dreamers who yearn
to experience before long pure
bliss with the feel of really belonging.
