The moment in between

When you can just breathe

That moment is worth the wait

And it is delightful

A light hearted fullness clears your vision

Suddenly you can see past the rain that swallows up sharpness and color

Past the barrier that looms to high to be climbed

Past the black water that covers the floor

To see that being is explicit

And being present is even better

It's in this in between that you know all you ever really had to know

In between chaos and confusion

You can just breathe

In between past and future

You can just breathe

In between defeat and victory

You can just breathe

Summer is that in between

That pause that life allows

Stop that you never want to leave behind

Absence of time that you want to get lost in

The realization that all you need is stillness because it calms the turbulent soul

This deep knowing of what is and could never be changed

It becomes enough

To notice these moments

Never to find reality’s shores

But to build a shelter right here

In middle of the ocean

In the in between

Where being is enough

Breathing... Yes, finally breathing
