exhale...

...interlude
a moment in time
between
the beginning...the end
hanging still
...gone

interlude
a question comes to mind
this moment of ours
was it the beginning of the end
or the end of a beginning
or the middle of journey
that has no memory
of previous stops
only to meet
to lose again
till we see again
in another time
in time, or
was this the last
of our mingled pasts

interlude
perhaps this time
in time
was a gross mistake
a spatial hiccup
the cosmic goof
not meant to be
do the gods laugh?
at our supposed destinies
our stealing of moments
of seeing
what could be
was to be
never to be
Should I/we be happy
that we enjoyed
an interlude
or curse the passion
of what can not be
for we are out of
time
in time
accidental interlude
a moment lost
found
lost
found
lost
found
lost
found...

...inhale

(i was going to copy and paste right here  the part that hit me the most..but i nearly pasted the whole darn thing!! )

oh yeah..this i really really like...really i do!!  (can you tell??)  

very well written..all the questions--i can feel them, been in the same space with them, know where they come from...needing answers, needing to question, yet not really wanting either..for fear you'll find what you'd rather not..SIGH...WOW!

yep..this one i really like...great job!!
