The In Between
by Ela Lourenco
.
Where the land meets the sky
The warm breeze kisses the shore,
Gentle waves play under the setting sun
The Earth hums a sweet lullaby.
Night hasn’t settled, nor is it day
‘Tis almost dusk, the in-between.
That brief moment where all is still
Not a soul to be seen
Nor to see where worlds overlap
Realm portals open
To the hellscape below
Demons and monsters await
To crossover on this night
Here I stand once again
Armoured and alone
Fate depends on the outcome of this fight…

Love what you did with this – the menace present but disguised in the beauty of the scene – that’s not easy to achieve.
A superb poem.
