between lightening and darkening

sometimes my body aches with it. the dull throbbing an aching set against the sky lightening and darkening again. flowing from feet to crown and back again. a cyclical silence of time.

the horizon undefined. an elastic destiny. we snap small peices of rubber and call them fate. rushing through the hours we hesitate before unconciousness. small offerings to contemplation.

but on this dawn i am between these things. between wanting and hoping and prayer. a small creek gushes where once there was drought. weaving water where once only was sand.
