This one is for my husband, who's gentle face is my whole world

In between…

In the in between moments
The empty spaces
The pauses that break up
The steady stream of chatter

I look up… and find you


How could I know fulfillment
Had I not known emptiness
Like the nothingness that defines everything
Like the silence in between heartbeats

You are with me… and not


The beauty of you is
That you allow me to be
The silence and the chatter
In between emptiness and fulfillment

I am yours… and mine
