Between each word, what happens in the mind? <br />what moves from hearing, seeing, through the worlds <br />of thought; emotion; both perhaps enjoined; <br />what depth of silent stillness may unfurl? <br /> <br />It's strange: as writer, when the words are set, <br />I find myself in some quite other place, <br />where writer, reader, hearer, truly meet; <br />like talk that's punctuated by deep peace. <br /> <br />For me, each comma, semi-colon, dash, <br />or bracket, or long colon's pause, or stop, <br />are moments when our minds may truly match; <br />communication perfect in that gap: <br /> <br />the punctuated moment, truth may find; <br />between each word, meet unity in mind.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0025-between-2/
