January 10, 2007 ~ All That Lies Between

I am comprised
of a million cells
and all that lies
between

It is the between
that is not seen
that makes me
who I am

Who I am
comes from within
of a thousand
souls before me

The souls that dance
to an ancient call
of a music
that deems haunting

The spirits haunting
builds the strength
of a heart
pounding loudly

Pounding courage
pushes forth
past memories I
have yet to see

What you can not see
the fight within my walls
because of where I have been
Where I have yet to be

I am whole
for the lives of many
that comprise
all that lies between.
