Nothing Between

"Between God and the soul there is no between."
                                                              St Julian of Norwich
                                                                                             

The just-fallen scarlet leaf

has become 

a wing of fire

on the blurry nest of the pond;

ruffling the tangled solitude

of mirrored trees

that have been untying
 their rippling-ribbons of light,

all day, 

over the deep fins of loneliness

swishing through 
the shadows of things.
