The spaces that have yet
To be explored,
Those unchartered, unmapped,
And most dangerous;
They are not the reaches
Of the universe,
The caverns of the earth,
Nor the bottoms of the seas;
These are the spaces between people.
The spaces of silence,
Of hurt, and of tears.
The void of a lost love,
The wish for a new.
The rage of unspoken anger,
And the wake of hasty words.
Unchartered, unmapped,
Ominous and black,
The spaces between people --
Infinite and vast.
