Indeed. Within the space between lght and dark are dependent on each other.
Like the heaving of chest under palm the very breath reliant on such balance.
The space between the here and there. Here, where we believe we tangibly reside yet understand not a thing of which it is or why or even who.
There, dangling beyond. Behind the curtain, tantalising, terrifying, calling. Echos of a home a longing to return to which I've never been. Or have I?
The mind tapped here in the space between, spins at the idea of such lack of reasoning. All the years spent suppressing the unease of intangible, yet visceral instinct. Flashes of truths impossible to fathom pushed away, replaced, the path back naively erased, not knowing any action or inaction leads one back to the divine, dividing line, the caught between, upon thy precipice, the space.
Temporary is the garb that which conceals this space. Where one dwells in dreams, imaginings, floats melancholy fantasy and dives in headfirst abandon unabashed manacle frolicking.
The space between, where all is lost and gained, that slips within beneath the current, echos lost not wasted, swirling swimming mixing mincing mimicking becoming bending bonding vending, venting lamenting. Sending all ahead, not lineal yet most indeed undead, the words they shroud the dread, shoulder the path ahead, shields the cavernous, ravenous plane, in which you swim, The space between.
Where instinct floats duck dives resurfaces another beast entirely and the tangible the realist begs question of the first. Not knowing they are interchangeable and one of the very same within the space between.
I would tend to agree with you on that, but for me it was a while before I knew there was an inbetween...
Of course; but when the world leaked out, a little bit went this way and a little bit went that way. Nothing could be found any place where it should be. Time was what you could make it, and if you could make it, it just ran out between your fingers like sand.
You couldn’t get anywhere, for there was nowhere to stand, upside down was out, and in was over there squeezing to push on somewhere else between a colour and an indisposition that was slipping and sliding round and round. Light was cracking like ice. Black was like tar then dissolving into tyre tracks that led nowhere. All looked like something, but was only an illusion, a swirling mist metamorphosing to sound in and out of the static.
I ran for it on the ice cricking and cracking under me; sped round a corner that was there, then, just when I wanted a straight line flight plan. I bumped into a man walking his dog. It was my friend with my dog from another lifetime, coming back from that lifetime on an errand that was long forgotten. The lid was off, nothing was what it seemed.
The sky was huge and moving, it pulled us up the hill. We forded a stream that hissed beneath us. Came to a reflection, found it was our very own selves, looking back at us; a mirror we shared but couldn’t understand. So we moved on into a very dark place, couldn’t see anything. We turned around, tried to find a way back. Ghostly lights confused us. The dog ran off and couldn’t be found. It all looked the same, images that wavered but had no substance.
A clock was still ticking, but was meaningless in the place we’d come to. The infusion was a timeless moment that could not be caught as both sides of the circle stared at each other forever. We walked through the sentinels on tiptoe, so careful not to disturb them, and made it to another situation that suddenly came at us, an apparition that gave us both a shock. It just suddenly popped up right in front of us, some gargoyle visage of frightening proportions.
We ran from that one too down a long road that was dusty and hot and dead empty. Behind us we knew there was something we didn’t want to be around so we kept on running. For days we ran and wore out our shoes and our clothes were in rags. We came to the next town but there were no buses and the train didn’t stop there anymore. We hung about the graveyard for a few hours to acclimatise ourselves to all that was going down about us. We got restless after the fifteenth body was lowered below so we decided to carry on.
There's a lot more, but perhaps I shouldn't bore you...Thanks for your comment...
