in between

I live between the moments

time has sent my way

sounds and syllables

greet me in my stay

they whisper hints of words

yet to be heard

teasing deep within

memories of somewhere

curiously I listen

seeking a distant sound

somehow a step moved in

a direction perhaps

it is more than the quiet that calls

I hear a mothers whisper

deep within the depths of me

I know of this memory

somehow it is me

known long before my knowing

I am there while

I am here

this is the in between

the space of grace I am

observing learning

lives of my mothers before me

we are one

in the in between

sacred is the call

held is love for all and all to be

you see we never end

you and me we are more

threads woven carry us

within life beyond the in between
