Between...

Between …

 

between a  beginning and an end

there lies a story

between sense and nonsense

there lies the truth

between infatuation and passion

there lies love

between a mother and a baby

there lies a lullaby

between action and inaction

there lies intent

between silence and a word

there lies a whisper

between a poet and a poem

there lies a dream

between cradle and grave

there lies a life

between life and death

there lies a breath

So many great statements written in the poetry.
"between life and death
there lies a breath"
A poet create. Sometime happy ending and sometimes, not. I do like the above lines. Thank you Alan for sharing the amazing poetry.

Ta Neville - I find this kind of structured poem easier but some day I'll try for a 'real' poem!

Between your lines are magical thoughts. :) Well done.

[alanwgraham]

Thanks again. You see - it's quite different from the big shake. I don't find poetry easy but this kind of repetitive structure helps me a lot.

Alan

[CAPOLAVORO]

I see that. :)

[J. J. Nightingale]

I hear those lullabies ..even now
I see little ones, in dreams
in between lies and lives
I realize
their true intent.

Touches Deep....

A cut above here Alan.
It flows beautifully and lyrically. Dare I say it reminds me of the lyrics of one Robert Dylan.

[alanwgraham]

Thanks tony. Poetry is not my forte but this one just seemed to flow.

Loved the lines -
"between action and inaction
there lies intent"
"between a poet and a poem
there lies a dream" - so true. There is always a hidden meaning for all things we only need to dig a little deeper to understand it. Good write!

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Poetically reflective composition – highlighting the progress through life’s events! Very astute and poignant write – which I liked a lot!

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Phil. I find poetry hard so I was pleased that this one worked.
