As I head to work in the morning, I drive over the bayou bridge where I can see the sun rising in the East, and the moon still showing in the West. This particular poem catches my oh-so-often feeling of being caught in the middle of things and not knowing which way to go.
Somewhere Between
Red sun on my left
full moon on the right
here i am again
stuck ‘tween day and night
Dare i move south
or should i go north
i tremble with fear
afraid to sail forth
Opportunities abound
in what lies ahead
so why does it seem
there’s nothing but dread?
Go forth take a risk
sail on take a chance
you might be surprised
to enjoy the dance
But still i wait here
locked in the middle
hoping the sun
might move just a little.
