There are spaces between

Strength, weakness
Control, release
Living, surviving
Joy, pain

Fantasy, reality
Hope, despair
Love, hate
Winning, losing

There are spaces between

The moon is beyond my reach
But it is there
Softly
Resting
In the clear blue sky

I know it is there
Because I see it
But still
It is beyond my reach

I cannot see my future
But I know it is there
Unwritten
Unclaimed
Undecided
But it is there
This much I have learned
From living
And memory

I cannot see love
But I know it is there
Brooding
Swaying like currents of water
Swirling
Attracting one to another

I cannot see death
Yet I know it is there
Kind
Comforting
Mysterious
All powerful

There are spaces between
Waiting to be filled
