BETWEEN

On the way to the light
At the end of the tunnel
There is an island
An island at the centre
Of a mist shrouded lake
The mist must be enveloped
The lake must be cupped
The island must be embraced
Before the tunnel traversed
Before the light breached
For the mist is the obscuring veil
The lake the unknown road
The island the tipping point
The stepping stone the in between
Between the here & now
And the there & then
Between what is and what will be
Between life and death
