the distance
between two days
the hesitation
between two heartbeats
the silence
between two secrets
the hurt
between two hopes
the insanity
between two illusions
the certitude
between two surprises
the conspiracy
between two coincidences
the weight
between two waves
the pause
between two prayers
pay heed
to what lies in between
SONYA KASSAM 
the death
between two lives
the nightmare
between two sunrises
the thought
between two scarcities

Dear Sonya,
Thank you for this poem. Very nice.
So much seems to be between what occupies most of our awareness. It’s often fleeting (though perhaps it doesn’t have to be), and the subtlest of subtle.
All good wishes,
robert

It’s always the in-between, dear Sonya, that’s where the answers lie.
BTW, the reblog D-day is Wed 29th. I’ll drop you a mail before that – am off to Rishikesh for some detox on the weekend ;)
