Indescribable Seconds

That moment between breaths

The space between raindrops

The watercolor overlap of one thought

transitioning into the next

It is in these indescribable seconds

that all of Life exists.

It is the epiphany on the highway

with pop music playing in the background.

It is the anticipation of an event

you never knew for sure would happen.

It is the moment when an ambulance or

tinted-window limousine passes by

and you wonder who and why.

It is the inhale of oxygen before the first kiss.

The warmth of their body giving heat to your own.

It is the dog hair on your black britches

that you brush off on your way in to work.

It is the dust on the glass frame of your father's portrait

And the gravel in the grooves of your tires

from all of the places you have been.

It is the instant you realize he loves you...or doesn't.

It is your frayed shoe strings and

the crumbs in your purse.

It is everything, and nothing.

All the pixel pieces painting a picture of You.
