It’s true. Lines are

more prominent than

they used to be. But if

you will read between

.

them, you will enter

my world – dreams

and ever afters, knights

and clashes with wicked

.

tyrants, notes stashed

in bottles and tossed on

foreign shores. Between

these lines lies a

.

spirit-essence, a will,

a mind, a heart. Turn

the pages breathlessly

when suspense leaves

.

you hanging; linger long

where hope casts her

spell. Decode the jots,

decipher the plot

.

sketched out by

an author yet

unknown. Read me,

between the lines.

    I really liked this one. So many good phrases including “hope casts her spell.” But then I’ve always been partial to reading between the lines.

    I really enjoyed reading this Melody. The more lines you have, the more you have seen and experienced. There are many pages to a book and much more to a person. I loved the line “turn the pages breathlessly when suspense leaves you hanging” it reminds me of all the things that are jotted down in our life diary from a young age, then when old age hits, we sit and glance at what had been from the past. Too late to make changes.
    Great post Melody.

      Thanks RPD! I like your take on aging – it fits so well with what I am experiencing and aim to experience. I LIKE the perspective that is coming with the grey hair… 🙂

    Intriguing. I tend to be fixated on the lines and forget to read between them. It’s a bit like charging along a highway and neglecting to see what is on either side. What a lot gets missed that way.

      I know I have missed plenty, with my blinders on – or with an attitude that made it hard to truly see. I want to dig a little deeper!
