Between two breaths
Between two heartbeats
There is life
Even in a blink
There is vision
Before tears
There is sorrow
Between two thoughts
There is inspiration
Within silence
There is a voice heard
Underneath turbulence
There is tranquility
In the crest and dip of a wave
Between a spark and a flame
Between two words
There is a story
There is a story
Between the setting of the sun and night fall
There is a story
Between a leaf dying and falling to the ground
There is a story
Between a raindrop forming and precipitating
There is a story
Between the ebb and flow of the tides
There is a story
Between sleeping and awakening
Read it, write it, live it, tell it
Evocative of Khalil Gibran.

Even in a moment
There’s a story
In the split of a second
A glimpse of your smile
A rest for a while,
There’s a story
Behind or before us
There’s a story
Therein lies the magic
The glory!
