Between

by Marissa A Spencer

In that quiet breath
between midnight and dawn
I awaken
startled...
strangely alive
a haunting feeling
that someone was there
but not really there
I am frozen, listening
the silence unnatural
the ticking clock
sounds like breaking sticks
looking around I see
a frozen frame of time
maybe it was a dream
maybe

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguished, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy Earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
Morn came and went—and came, and brought no day,
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this their desolation; and all hearts
Were chilled into a selfish prayer for light:
And they did live by watchfires—and the thrones,
The palaces of crownéd kings—the huts,
The habitations of all things which dwell,
Were burnt for beacons; cities were consumed,
And men were gathered round their blazing homes
To look once more into each other's face;
