The Space Between


I've been running really high fevers lately, and Reality is starting to break through the edges of my orderly little life.

I have now spent quite awhile 
'tween this world and the next.
I'm really going out in style,
and wish I could but text
you of the wonders that I see,
flying dogs and long-lost friends,
Apostles and the Trinity,
and a grand pub-crawl that never ends.
There's Jesus on the rifle range...
BOOM! What the heck, He MISSED?
That is really very strange,
and now He doth insist 
that I take His piece and try the thing,
and I break the heart of the ten-ring.

There is so much more, though, angels ascending and descending, swirling noise and colours you can smell and taste, laughter and love and fistfights, a cacophony of epiphany.

And a message to bring back:

Be graceful in defeat, and magnanimous in victory.

The Five Minute Friday Prompt this week is TOWARD.

All I can offer is a haiku.

As ice presses toward victory,
the spring waits in the sky
with a smile.

Sylvia takes it for granted that there's Foster's-flavoured ice cream.

  2. I wish you could write of all the things you see too, but I guess I'll just have to wait my turn. Blessings to you and your precious little family. x
