I lay down, between thoughts of yesterday and that of tomorrow. Today did not exist, for I was blinded by desires, my selfish wants and I was paralyzed by my wounds of self inflicted fear. Sleep wouldn't come, all that I could hear was a beating of heart sending out a distress signal, with no one there to rescue me. And when peacefulness came, I had traveled to a distant state of mind where no one I knew existed and all was forgiven, blame was not in the vocabulary, nor fault nor pain...only happiness. I awoke to the sound of crying, coming from within. I could hear the releasing of hurt. I could see again the light of day. I could move to the stroking of ego telling me to be strong, rise, walk but don't run to the nearest exit. I flung open the door passed through an opening in that wall I had erected, a fortress to protect me, yet one that was holding all the misfortunes, locking them within me. Four hours walking, in brisk air chilling the sweat of exertion feeling alive again. Stopping to speak to any and all known and unknown, real or imaginary, persons or natures surroundings life... there was life after all between my yesterday and that of tomorrow. ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

I loved the movement from the unreal dreamlike state to the real...walking in the brisk air...that played nicely with the underlying theme of inner awakening and self healing...I'm glad that this piece had a positive and hopeful ending. Thank you for sharing. Jellybean King |

I've been there between them..... "And when peacefulness came, I had traveled to a distant state of mind where no one I knew existed and all was forgiven, blame was not in the vocabulary, nor fault nor pain...only happiness. I awoke to the sound of crying, coming from within. I could hear the releasing of hurt. I could see again the light of day. I could move to the stroking of ego telling me to be strong, rise, walk but don't run to the nearest exit. I flung open the door passed through an opening in that wall I had erected, a fortress to protect me, yet one that was holding all the misfortunes, locking them within me. Four hours walking, in brisk air chilling the sweat of exertion feeling alive again. Stopping to speak to any and all known and unknown, real or imaginary, persons or natures surroundings life... there was life after all between my yesterday and that of tomorrow." God you're a good writer! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

This is a profound poem, you caught me and held me through the entire read. It certainly is a poem of faith and one of being an overcomer, which, by virtue or our womanly qualities.....we are! Kathleen Blake |

Very inspirational and lovely! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |
