Poetry – Between

Between

 

Between the atoms and the stars

Lies

The world of in between,

In which nothing is as it seems.

An unreality

In which we dream

And walk upon solid ground

And believe

One is more substantial than the other.

It fascinates me to think of the life we live. We think we live in some kind of reality but we do not. We are in between realities.

Solidity is an illusion. It is not based on substance – merely a forcefield.

The arc of the stars – the distance and speed are beyond our comprehension.

Infinity, atoms and galaxies are the reality.

The life we live is based on strange forces, microscopic and macroscopic, of which we only receive a glimpse.
