Betwixt Valentine

Somewhere between cruelty and tenderness
There is a whole world of effort
As if held in parenthesis
On a stretch of beach
Between the ocean and the forest
A passageway between
Two worlds where we are walking
Or laying in the sun reading
Our histories or playing catch
Where the great decisions
Wait on either side of us
Between drowning and burning
Between sinking and swimming
Between love and misery
