Between the Lines

No words or thoughts as silence takes hold,

Life stands still, now, for a moment,

Ideas, beliefs, intersperse into one,

But for another time, when light is sprung

.

You listen to the air, feel it sigh,

An entire world to breathe and yet,

Here it settles on you. A smile is born,

But not your own, it is life looking back

.

Feet move but cannot run, there is,

Time now to explore, learn, and

In the purest singularity, you open

Your mind, though nothing enters in

.

The slightest touch appears oddest here,

A heartstring plucked reverberates as

Desire meets its honest sanctity,

Plain is attraction, now in primal form

.

You wander without thought, both

In body and mind, now separate

Beings, you realise, two souls,

Bound unseen and unknown together

.

A mist soon forms, spreading wide,

It covers the world, and now sheds

Shadow once more on wonders,

Your eyes open, but you are once more blind
