The In-Between

Riffling book pages, as faces pass by
She finds answers in silence
and understands
All is well.

Sad for leaves getting out of sight
yet still
happy for the humor she found within
She smiles...



This is for all those who've wondered about that silence,
of the what-ifs...but also learned to read in between the lines...

Hon, there are so many times I wish I hadn't finished a book because reading it was such a pleasure. Sometimes I'll read the same book many times. You did a great job expressing your love for words and the comfort they bring, Nikko. Love, Carolyn
