LIVING in
the space between
“I’m writing to you to know
How are you, how are you living
Gradually
Between you and me
I would like to tell you about the bond
That weaves
Paths of life
Entwined
In a square dance
At times when I am singing in the shower, are you sitting by your tree to breathe
Simply
Inhale a little bit of calm ?
Just for a moment
And when you lie under another star, among those we see
Far from the city,
Do you think of me ?
We call each other, write to each other
And fill the spaces
With words, dreams, memories,
You see,
The distance between beings
Do you think It is physical or emotional?
I would like to know
If it can be measured in kilometers?
I’m writing to you to know
With what are we going to fill the space between us ?
Now
The space between
Subtle gaps that should or should not be filled
Leave space
The crack in the concrete where wild grass can grow
Free
I would like to know you
What do you dream of under other skies ? Are the people around you dreaming the same dreams as you, in a language that I don’t understand ?
I would like to feel
The space between a sun that sets when another rises
And
The bottom of a singing stream Somewhere in summer
I would like to taste
This space between
Where life emerges
Living somewhere means being together, all of us, under the moon
Living somewhere means inhabiting your cells, your body, your house,
Your neighborhood, your city, your country,
Your continent, your planet, your solar system,
Your universe
So I’m writing to you …
How are you, how is life at home?”
