Poem: In Between Moments

waking up from sleep at 4 pm

thoughts hazy and black

can't put a finger on how long I've been away

feels like coming back from the end of life

pushing me out to do what matters most

there's a sadness all my own

can't explain how lonely it can get

how can we put time linearly

when measuring it feels like

putting it into a cup

some days seem to never end

and others they just fly us by

some moments stay close

and others go down in history

all in all, it's one big mixed cloud of the past

there's a beat coming from the earth

like warm, slow waves of the sea

embracing and calling us in

time is like grains of sand

slowly vanishing into memories

when you walk through

the forest of your reminiscence

you realize the importance

of choosing the people you live with

how they've coloured your days

different imprints they left in the heart

most decisions made are based on the feeling in the eyes

- how they steal

and give

and always speak the truth

how you think about yourself

makes all the difference

the way you carry your soul

either you lift it up to find home

or you suppress it from growing

night driving - miles rolling by

freshly you pick up where you left off

as you choose the next destination

and search for something better

hoping all this would change

soul finds home somewhere in between those miles

those long and heartwarming seconds

that we carry till the ends of the earth

and are only ours to know and experience

leaving a smile on our faces
