Gift in the Gap by Josh Bond

A popular way to beat myself up

hides in the apparently harmless 
concept of an 'unlived life'
◊ plenty of roads-not-taken
◊ decisions-not-made
◊ opportunities missed
◊ potential-not-achieved
all in a bitter nutshell 
which holds more than 
enough to make me feel 
◊ inept
◊ stupid
◊ awkward
◊◊◊ a failed human specimen ◊◊◊

yet in the gap 
between
the life I live
and the many I didn't
lies a precious gift
a vibrant force 
for moving on
from stagnation 
towards salvation
a gift that lends 
direction
to a life adrift
I only need to find it…

Author’s Note:

I believe that the whole 1984 dystopian Brave New World is true…

Some call it the singularity…

It will be a powerful force of control…

To the point of blocking out our connection to the divine…

I believe that art is communing with the divine…

Which is wild when you think of art as a tool of self development…

I think that there is a dark energy that they will never

be able to control…

A mysterious part of the self they will never be able to access..

Located in the gaps of the self…

I think through art we may access these realms…

And that it brings an energy that is counter to these dark forces…
