Space In-Between
Many believe there’s nothing
in the space in-between.
Yet perhaps it is there
we may find everything.
From where appears
a joke,
an invitation,
a smile,
or warm handshake,
all leading to a hug?
Pull on that thread.
Close the distance
between the familiar patterns
you call your life,
and the fabric of eternity.
Don’t live your life
hiding in a seam.
Allow yourself to be zipped
and fastened to what you once labeled
other.
Even your breath
is a way to get closer
to everything and everyone else
also longing with this desire.
Deep breath in.
Deep breath out.
We become one.
