In Between

So many things can be seen in this world in between 

Should you happen to wander astray 

So many things you can find if you’re so inclined 

To sort through the shades of gray 

Through realms unknown you must walk alone 

If you dare undertake the task 

Treading swirling seas of varying degrees 

To answer what you never thought to ask 

Of things closely veiled and concepts curtailed 

By the limits of physical domain 

Of secrets suppressed and long acquiesced 

For the sake of what’s said to be sane 

The things that you think when you’re on the brink 

Are those only you could design 

A swirl of feeling when your mind is reeling 

Through territories quite undefined 

There are no limits or boundaries explicit 

No ground too sacred to tread 

No buffer to inhibit visions so vivid 

Of far-fetched fantasies fed 

You’ll find stories unspoken particularly potent 

A nostalgia you don’t recognize 

In this world you’re immersed but still free to traverse 

Amazing what’s seen with closed eyes
