What Lies In the Betwixt and the Between

What Lies In The Betwixt And The Between What lies in the betwixt and the between Heaven and hell, this world's darkest of scenes Mankind wallows in the deepest of sin Parades in blackest deeds, from early teens Dare we to such foul actions then decry Whilst our own deep darkness we seek to hide As we walk under the malevolent moon Into a land devoid, absent of sky From this dastardly dream, this nightmare I woke My legs still broken, my tongue cut off And a whisper carried from far away Suffer some more, for this curse is no joke. As my mind then realize I was fast asleep. I thought something learned was very deep. Robert J. Lindley, dark Sonnet Jan. 25th 1974 "Search for truth and light for darkness destroys. "

Robert, your poem is exquisitely crafted. The lessons we glean from our dreams can evoke both fear and wonder, serving as the spirit's compass on our journey through life.

The things we learn in dreams can be terrifying or beautiful. They are the soul's way of guiding us through this incarnation. Powerful lines Robert.

Thank you, my good friend. You got it on the mark. I believe in dreams and what some of them predict. But some are so deeply complex I just can fathom their meaning. God bless.
