Story Lies Between the Light and Her Shadow.

In Between
©2007 Tim Wheeler

Unscrew the moon. Tear down the stars.
Pack up the Sun, Mercury and Mars
Wring out the clouds. Fold up the blue.
Unspring the time. All the seasons, too.
‘cause all that’s real,
And all I feel lies in between

Wipe off the hills, their flowers bright
The color, too, ‘Til all is black and white
Corral the wild and eagle Gray
Circle of life; put them all away
‘cause all I see,
And all I need lies in between

Between the child and the elder
The furrowed seed and towering willow
The budding vine and the fine Bordeaux
Between the light and her shadow

Unscrew the moon. Tear down the stars.
Pack up the Sun, Mercury and Mars
Close up my eyes and seal my ears
Box up the smile, and drain off all the tears
‘cause all that’s real,
And all I feel lies in between the light and her shadow
Lies in between the light and her shadow
