a rock and a hard place
fleeting though it be
there is a softish patch
called Christmas
baubles tinsel and lights
movies that bring tears
hymns carols
people being a little kinder
to each other
(even customer service)
the old cards
(will never forget you darling))
still on the fridge
a little respite
a little escape
from the nightmare
called reality

What a lovely interpretation of 'in between'!
ReplyDeleteyes exactly We need christmas to not only to escape reality but also to bring a bit of goodness back
ReplyDeleteDear Rall ... your in between is my in between [who would have guessed] ~~~ if I could spirit myself to your part of the world for The Holidays I would. "In spirit" will have to suffice. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteI posted several comments to you on the P&SU blog, including a long one with possible remedies for the Blogger problems you've been having. Maybe should have put it here instead, but I seem to be having a particularly well-meaning-but-inept morning so far, LOL! So, just in case it doesn't occur to you to go back and see if you had any replies there ...
ReplyDeleteBetween hope and dreams and memories and reality we move on - very relatable.
ReplyDeleteYes, Rall, Christmas can be a welcome refuge and a respite. As long as we open our hearts and let a light in...
ReplyDeleteI like "a softish patch called Christmas."
ReplyDeleteI love your in-between. It is a joyful respite from the world.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Rall!
