The Space Between

This poem is from “Inspired Shares” sent weekly to those who are on the email list. Feel free to sign up if you would like to receive them. This and many poems from the weekly Inspired Shares are published here on the web site.

Last week’s Inspired shares was about the space around the body. This week’s poem speaks to the “space between”, similar to the pause between breaths. This pause for example, can guide us to a more calm state. It is a time that can hold a lot of potency for connection to spirit and creativity.

The Space Between
Can you see the figure
in the mists?

Does your heart ache
to uncover truth?

Listen quietly to the space
between,

to the resounding ring of silence after
the bird’s song,

to the sun’s final ray of light as it
drops behind the mountain,

to the moon’s subtle shift as she
glides across the darkening sky,

to the quiet between
the drops of rain that echo softly
in the damp forest,

in that space
hear your heart beat,

walk that path aligned
with the inner rhythm,

become new with each pause
as you also
come home.
