The day between

Yesterday has finished all that was left,
Tomorrow the plans will begin anew.
I cannot help but feel a little bereft,
In this emptiness caught between the two.

There is no preparation I can yet start,
There is no more that I can put away.
Nothing for me in which to take part,
Nor any chance of speeding up today.

Surrounded by an inner stillness,
I can only sit down and stare.
And yet, with a little willingness,
I can teach myself to become aware:

Of all those little things that I often miss,
The sounds and colours that surround me.
This day between, could become one of bliss,
To go and explore this world around me.

To take a walk and let time drift on by,
Between the sunrise and the sunset,
And see the beauty of the Earth and sky.
This day between, a day not to forget.
