Fay Slimm - Spaces Between

Let there be spaces
In any togetherness.
Welcome the other's need.
Make room for solo
Times, the self likes exploring
As from inside it feeds.

Things can dominate
And thinking can suffocate
Yearnings for 'timeless'. Still
But peaceful, escape then,
Make entrance into such spaces.

No shadowed tree, we find
Grows big. We take care
Not to plant closely. Often
Then breathe your own air.
Space at times calls silently
And we, following wisely,
Acknowledge a need is there.
