Between the Lines

I wonder the time that builds the distance
encouraged by discouragement
stained thoughts of pent up surrendering
weaving in and out, imaginary at best
always riding the doubt of what was,
measuring the missing, upon reflection.

My face unmade, exposing to the elements
to lighten the load and let the warmth penetrate
the generosity of time, all mine today.
Keeping the moments, the images
within mindtouch, admiring my scars,
breathing in the power of tomorrow.

Even a face unmade,
has much beauty, scars?
are not there laid,
eye still twinkle, stars,
heart music played.
