In Between

An abstract poem of love

A voice to charm a hornets nest

And a touch to tame the wild bear

The bees are frozen

The birds lost their song

Even the insects have stopped their dance

Hot like tea sipped

During the years first snowy day

And cold like a popsicle

On the hottest day of the year

Everything is at a standstill

Traffic lights permanently yellow

Every flower just moments away from blooming

The grass caught between

Springtime morning dew

And winters early frost

All things almost beautiful

And nearly decayed

So close to perfect

And yet so perfectly wrong

For an eternity

Not quite as the world should be

But nowhere near incorrect

How one can do this

And have it only noticed by me

I will never understand

And so I beg the question

Will you teach me?

the dark jabs cut through the defenses .. love the images of all of Nature and time standing still ...
"So close to perfect
And yet so perfectly wrong" kind of says it all for me ... well done .. solid theme in abstract free verse form ..not an easy balance to achieve ... well done says i!

ps. the humility in closing is exquisite!
