Lesley Schneider is a resident of Florence in Hampshire County. She writes and edits technical manuals for a living and was surprised and delighted to have this poem emerge from her pen.
In Between
In between the dying, I cook.
In between the crying, I plant.
In between the outrages, I smell flowers.
In between the madness, I take pictures.
In between the hand washing, I share pictures.
In between the sleepless nights, I do yoga.
In between the scenes of brutality, I play my harp.
In between the lockdown, I walk in nature.
The dark. The Light. The dark. The Light.
Balancing on the head of a pin.
