Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing
Those in-between
moments of time slipping,
sliding in-out of shadowy light
gone forever from fragile sight
fading in-to foggy haze
an in-finite gliding away
reality in-flux with fantasy
vivid fluidity in-memory
ticking, ticking off seconds
minutes and hours in-flight
Life in-turn soaring away,
in-fused with simple delights
an in-depth clarity of mind
with a chance in-sight to slip away
from this earthly plane and write.

Author’s Note: I decided to play around with ‘in’. I like where this took me. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

A fascinating study of the little word “in”. I once performed a speech in Toastmasters Club that centered around the little word “up”. This reminded me of that exploration! Well penned, my friend.

Happy New Year, Linda !!!
Count me “in”. This was an enjoyable read, I find “in-between time” on the edge of the bed after being all ready for sleep. I compose entire poems or a good start often sitting there wit4h my smart phone.

I think slipping away to write is what keeps us sane! Loved this, Linda.
