The In Between
This is a poem I recently wrote, inspired by painting and drawing a model and working with other artists. Sometimes I express myself through words:
In between spaces
is the new exhibition
The view of the spaces between arms and legs
Trees and rocks
In between the conscious and subconscious state
More of late
The energetic connection between two people
Two artists, two forms of art
The connection of hearts
Everything in between
Nothing mean
In the space between
Is there another word for that?
Betwixt
‘tween
Really?
Betwixt is a state that is not fixed
Like a pause on Netflix
Like the hypnogogic state
Just before you wake
It interests me
What can I learn by being aware of in between states?
The forms that I see
Empty spaces
Distant places
All in between
Betwixt the head and the arms
The legs and the wall
Depicting what?
What is it that you see, Kathy?
It’s all important to me!
I wont know until I’ve drawn it onto the page
Not rage
Won’t know ’til I’ve felt it
A sense of calmness
I won’t know until I have experienced it in my own dream
A knowing is happening
Won’t know ’til the paint’s on the paper
I see you, no really, I SEE you
It’s a peaceful place
Serenity?
Possibly.
Lovingly
Compassionately
I open up my heart to humanity
I open up my senses for knowings and intuitive messaging
The space in between
It wants to be seen
I got my theme
It’s
In between
