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
with frustration's resistance yet
provide right timing to furnish relief.

Between waking
and sleeping there exists somewhere
of rarely dreamed freedom,
an oasis where lonely people
find peace in which love can be shared.

Between heaven
and paradise lies the state of new-song
for true hearts who yearn
to experience in warm oneness
reasons for bliss in the feel of belonging.

that in=between, that limbo...that space is one we could be able to fill with happiness if only we would stop living with so many regrets about the past, and so much dread for what the future may hold...we must live in the moment, or life has no meaning.

Indeed that is so jacob - - we all live in those places where happiness cannot get to us -- regrets have but a small contribution to peace of mind but to embrace them with no thought of their danger is futile - - thank you so much for your interesting input to the poem Betweeness.
