Trifextra: The Pages In-Between


pageturnerblog.wordpress.com

The inception and conclusion are like bookends,

not of our own choosing.

Then there’s the storm in between;

pages filled with complicated poems and harrowing tales

With a love story threading though, hopefully.

Loved it. The image of life (so to speak) held together by the bookends.

Thoughful piece of writing. Made me think about all the stuff between those bookends. Glad you included the part about the love story. Nicely written.

Oh how lovely!I agree-life definitely is all about the "in between" ,though somehow we seem to focus more on the beginning & end ;-)Loved it Gina!

Gina said...

With birth and death being the bookends, you have just one life to fill those pages. Ought to be with people/things you love.

Gina said...

The beginning, the end and then the important stuff, living life. Thank you so much!

Gina said...

You know that whole journey business. It's true. It is sometimes easy to lose track of that and not be present. Thank you, as always, Atreyee!

Every page counts in this book we call life and you get that across brilliantly. Very nicely done.
Don't forget to come back and vote!

Gina said...

Every page does. And we only get that one page, one time, before it life turns a new page. I think about this a lot. Thanks for the visit and positive support. Can't vote this weekend but I certainly have my favorites.

A great message!
For some reason, I remembered a friend's email signature:
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
"If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine"
