THE IN BETWEEN
Can I find joy in the in between
The time each day that's seen
As being aware of the world?
Does the sunrise stir my soul
As I pour milk into the bowl
Of a day's inauguration?
Do I start the many chores
Leaving little time to pore
Or use my imagination?
Before I know, it's afternoon.
Tasks undone abound and soon
I've run out of ambition.
Time to pause and read a book.
Story language, that's the hook
To lift my sagging spirits.
Sunset heralds in the night.
Has joy become an oversight
Slipping into oblivion?
No, it's been present all along
In floral scent and a bird's sweet song
Despite his lack of conversation.
A quiet prayer and lively tune
Intercepted afternoon
Without my realization.
The in between's been filled with joy.
Happiness's uplifting buoy
Has brought me satisfaction.
