Betwixt

no sun, no storm
a silence shimmers sideways
no blue sea

I reach without knowing
am I the lock or the key
held in the shadow’s plea

both edges draw their border
this breath is not yet a name
I live between what will and won't be

Thought provoking words that are magnificent in their brevity! I live the last line too :-)
