eclipse

Listen to poem:

Lying betwixt and between is a pause,
For breaths held, to pirouette with drawn claws.
Lines prompted between curtain call and fall,
With mantra hummed to become or befall.
Hoping the wait is worthy of the chase,
To give mystery the time, space, and place
It needs to wade in the stilled quiet mind,
To awaken what haste has left behind— 
In the questions never posed nor begun,
About shadows in the eclipse of sun.
