The Spaces Between

Asleep on the grass,

Dreaming of love,

Two souls merge.

How can thoughts of love

Transform our flesh?

 

Asleep on the pavement,

Dreaming of  love,

A soul disputes.

How can thoughts of greed

Transform our bond?

 

Asleep on the beach,

Dreaming of answers,

Two souls are formed.

Change walks about.

As one departs,

The other, restlessly, sleeps.

 

Awaken on the grass,

Dreaming of the past,

A soul cries.

How can these thoughts

Depart her mind?

 

Awaken, far away,

Where nothing grows,

And, nothing lives,

A soul bleeds.

Finding its path,

Looking back,

He cries.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

We all learn of our mistakes... sometimes too late. All wounds heal, and they all leave a scar... some more visible than others.

We all hurt someone in our lives. Whats important is to learn.
