Notes About The Poem

"And then there are those moments when something rises up within you. An itch, an ache, an idea, a restlessness, a longing for more. A conviction that there is something else for you and it’s not here.." - Rob Bell, Everything is Spiritual

Listen to poem:

Liminal - Two Worlds

The space in-between
Two worlds
When we transition 
From dreamland
To harsh reality
That moment
When you are
Neither here
Nor there
Traversing
The barrier
Crossing 
The line
Stepping in
Stepping out
Over the threshold 
Negotiating the border
The ready, steady
Before the go
The rising red curtain
Before the show
Liminal lostness
The uncomfortable
Homeless
Non-place
The wilderness of un-belonging
The chrysalis of transformation
The journey has begun
Simultaneously ending
Over we go..
Through we push
Pay the ferryman 
See you on the other side
Mind the Gap
