Suspended Time

A moment in time independent from the rest
A platform disconnected from formal ground
A life inside the life inconsequential but real
A parallel universe optional to this one

Wondering who can tell the truth
Too far one side takes you the other side
I can tell you 'bout my own truth
Too far one way takes you the other way

And I slip inside
A world in stand-by while life goes on
Stop is the start in suspended time
Whatever has been left behind
Keep on feeding the suspended time

A possibility explored but not developed
A visited fantasy excluded from history
A personal snapshot or a private play
An alternative nest of living memory

Wondering who can tell the truth
Too far one side takes you the other side
I can tell you about my own truth
Too far one way takes you the other way

And I slip inside
A world in stand-by while life goes on
Stop is the start in suspended time
Whatever has been left behind
Keep on feeding the suspended time

A hyphen between you and I
Between here and there
Between in and out
Between up and down

A world in stand-by while life goes on
Stop is the start in suspended time
Whatever has been left behind
Keep on feeding the suspended time
