Writing Between The Lines

Not only must we read between the lines- we gotta write between them, too. :)

The words formed between bluish lines

They merge together now to proclaim their naked truths

The ones that we pretend to mistakenly neglect

The same ones that we, in actuality-

simply ignore.

Alone these twenty-six letters are required to survive

Together

They force life upon us

They make us Live.

These words are forever immortal

But we are quite the opposite

Wasting a single moment

(or many)

As if there is one to spare

We cannot imagine so many years

Added to our existence

And yet we make enough mistakes

To last through twice the moons of eternity

And from these falters

We can take nothing

From these experiences we cannot learn

If we cannot forgive

the world

And more importantly,

OURSELVES.

So do not read words

Live them

And don't forget to write some of your own

Before it's time to leave.

[Mr. Lopez]

A celebration to the words that we write that can bring much comfort and release for writer and reader alike. Everthing I write is between the lines , which makes my efforts so gratifying. You command your readers to dig deep and make interpritations of words layed before them with this piece. I enjoyed this poem very much.
