Inbetweenness

September is a daydream. a moment, a breath.

for soaking in summer's last golden sunbeams and cuddling under blankets beneath cool nighttime breezes. for seeing the mountains in amber while the valleys hold their green.

a pause. a still.

an inbetweenness.

and life offers the same--from time to time.

a chance to step back, to exhale--then breath in deeply. time to reflect on what's gone before and what will inevitably come. time to cherish and decide to remember. to savor and enjoy. time to plan and prepare--to look forward. to smile while looking back and wonder while looking ahead. to cherish the past and dream the future in one beautifully blended present.

to be nothing but inbetween.
