The indispensable in-between


The space between actions,
and space between thoughts,
seemingly useless, 
infinitely not.
***
A flow of
active flashes fills
my nights of 
sleeping.
Patchworks of memory
tied by rapid 
bursts of feeling. 
Timelessness,
a hollow,
rules the 
gentle drifts
of dreaming.

I am the rider,
the glider, 
the promising pathfinder,
the surfer swiftly turning
in between the 
crushing walls of wake,
before the last swallow,
until the final take.

Scattered scraps I follow,
an invisible line that leads,
whispers of buried secrets
consume the in-between.
"Go huntress" she speaks,
"seek and Godspeed.
There are no bindings or
boundaries here,
no limits to heed.
Just you, the clouds,
and your indispensable
dreams."

"Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top."
 ~Virginia Woolf

And what do your dreams say to you, awake or not?

    1. the swirls in the clouds were gorgeous, I felt like I was driving in a canvas. but the original photo on the iphone only showed subtleties, so I think on instagram I clicked enhance which boosted contrast, otherwise no other filter was used :).
