Can you read
Between the lines
Between the signs
Of words and faces
Do you understand the me
That exists
While I dance
through those places
Sidestepping phrases
And phases
That fog
the mirrored image
Of my own mind?
Do you find
That things
are not always clear
Or do you fear
The me
who’s standing
Somewhere here
between the words
In the white crevices
That surround
The real me
The one who waltzes
With words

You do waltz well with words, yes! And it is always nice to find something between the lines!

Love,

"Waltzing with words" I like the idea and there is so much more information between the lines just waiting to be discovered.

Kin, Ali, Maureen and Margherita,

Thank you, each of you for your generous reading. I think each of us is to be found between the lines in the self expression nuanced in our poems. Don't you just love it when you discover hidden layers and possible interpretations among the shadows and the lights.
Thanks guys...
Lynda

The me
who’s standing
Somewhere here
between the words
In the white crevices
That surround
The real me
The one who waltzes
With words.

The one who waltzes with words.
What a lovely way to write.
Much enjoyed dear Lynda.
