between the lines

take. a word for a walk
when. words define
words become line

when lines combined
line up lines
words redefined

when words are kind
tbey soothe the mind
when words. are. unkind
they slay the mind
words gathered
lines after lines

read through. the lines
thoughts align
read between the liness
thoughts realign

close your eyes
these are lines that shape your mind
open your eyes
they reshape your mind

a sound mind is on the right line
act in line
an unsound mind
need to be palpated offline

so, read carefully
thread through the lines
read BETWEEN THE LINES
