A Night In-Between

A night up in Boulder, when I saw the most amazing thing...

 

 A Night In-Between

 

I can sense the darkness falling,

into worlds, the voices calling.

Shadows of imagination, or maybe not,

all I felt and all I thought

seems lost now; in-between

where all is forgotten and wishes to be seen.

How I would love to enter there,

forget myself and just not care.

Dance with the fea; grow old before my time

only seeing raw nature and speaking in rhymes.

Or enter into a world long ago forsaken,

where I can flourish and become awakened.

Only then do the walls enclose,

leaving me confused, vulnerable, and exposed.

Holding to glimpses of mysteries I have yet to learn,

willing the present to show itself on the wings of the tern.

But I only have time to wish,

when it is my turn to be free and impish.

Alone at night, now, shaken and weary

what is my mortality, suddenly so dreary?
