Life & Death: The In Between Times by

Life & Death: The In Between Years

And so we are born
To the Light
And the overhead lamps swing, swing
Casting shadows
From Dark to Light
And back again

Between our course beginnings
And our staggering endings
Our life paths wind

But… between our Life and our Death
Something else there resides

And the years pass by
As those lamps illuminate
Our upturned faces
And our friends pass by
Sparking bright hot flares in their wakes

Our own wakes we leave behind
Choppy and peaked
Or sedate, mellow and calming
And beneath all our wakes lies
The Dark of Sleep
