What's in Between?

What's in Between?

Is there anything between love and hate?
What other kind of risk is there to take?
A void in between, essentially lost in time;
Memories holding together the pieces in one long unbroken line.
Years could pass without love or hate,
Where one lies in seclusion as they just wait.
Wishes bounce of walls that don't grow old,
Until one day the cycle starts again where it's never cold.
A happiness exists, which is unexplainable to any;
It feels as though it will last forever in a land of plenty.
Then the dawn of another existence comes for the ones with no sense,
A paradise fades once again into a foliage - Oh so dense!
So what's in between that leads us from one extreme to another;
Perhaps choices made in the middle are what push us into or away from each other.
Many of us are stuck in our own flowing restless haze,
Not choosing to wake up and pull ourselves out of our sightless daze.
Can that seclusion last forever?  Hopefully not.
For life won't stay on hold for eternity - Eventually, it will have its own shot.

Quite a bit of wisdom in this one... Reminds me somewhat of the poem about the dash, that time between the date of our birth, and date of our death... For the living, that arbitrary void between relationships where we become comfortable with only ourselves can be long sometimes, but it is always lonesome... Yet, through it all, we realize we were not born for solitude and, inevitably seek a meaningful comfort with someone else in our lives... the risk of being with someone, part of something that matters more than just us... Very good write...

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
