Time between sleep when dreaming

A spyglass into another life

On waking, may not belong to you

An uninvited interlude

With pictures, sound and music

A hidden message maybe

Inviting you to explore a mystery

You may have forgotten

The short film that meant more to you

Than the main attraction

That had you thinking, talking about

Reminding you of those in-between moments

When walking on a beach

Your bare feet kissed by the sea

That quiet moment when out walking

When the wind drops

The silence becomes the in between

You hear the echo of your own footsteps.
