I was dreaming of a white space <br />Had interposed itself between us two- <br /> <br />A blank wall; neither dark nor light <br />No recrimination there but silence <br />The silence that falls only at night. <br /> <br />Silence gone to snowy hazards <br />Like the shadows made from deeper blue- <br /> <br />And invisible but slippery edges, <br />As blindly groping in the darkness <br />To reach the haven- but you're not there yet. <br /> <br />Though I would wall myself with silence <br />And spend my life as one, not two- <br /> <br />Before I'd hurt another being, <br />Sometimes intentions brick the dam up <br />Before the devastation's seen.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/white-space-2/
