The Spaces in Between

Pushing, moving, silent screaming
Relinquish the battle within
For even the snake waxes anew
Yield to renew again

Chanted​ ​chorus,​ ​their​ ​chortled​ ​cries
Hear​ ​the​ ​sirens​ ​sing
Listen​ ​listen​ ​close​ ​enough
To​ ​the​ ​spaces​ ​in​ ​between

Not​ ​the​ ​snake​ ​nor​ ​the​ ​siren
Oh,​ ​the​ ​spaces​ ​give​ ​respite
Live​ ​in​ ​that​ ​space​ ​of​ ​stillness
The​ ​spaces​ ​in​ ​between

Silent​ ​screaming,​ ​chanted​ ​song
Listen​ ​for​ ​the ​quiet​ ​cry
Waiting​ ​for​ ​the​ ​stillness
It’s​ ​time​ ​to​ ​say​ ​goodbye

Move​ ​beyond​ ​the​ ​darkness
Beyond​ ​the​ ​darkness–Light.
Gliding​ ​above​ ​sun​ ​kissed​ ​plains
Transforms​ ​bleak​ ​to​ ​bright

There’s​ ​time​ ​to​ ​rest​ ​tomorrow
Waste​ ​not​ ​the​ ​given​ ​day
For​ ​time​ ​is​ ​just​ ​for​ ​you​ ​and​ ​me
Given​ ​and​ ​taken​ ​away

More​ ​beauty​ ​than​ ​words​ ​entail
Prose​ ​a​ ​mere​ ​injustice
We​ ​seek,​ ​we​ ​seek,​ ​we​ ​strive​ ​to​ ​know
The​ ​spaces​ ​in​ ​between

Loud​ ​as​ ​trumpets​ ​from​ ​on​ ​high
Expecting​ ​unfurled​ ​gates
Veins​ ​of​ ​a​ ​whisper​ ​instead​ ​received
Chatter​ ​and​ ​silent​ ​screams​ ​abate

Wait​ ​no​ ​more,​ ​search​ ​is​ ​over
It’s​ ​found​ ​within​ ​the​ ​seams
All​ ​promises​ ​delivered
On​ ​the​ ​spaces​ ​in​ ​between
