Ellipsis


a period ends a thought.
an exclamation mark pumps up its volume!
a question mark invites a response, right?
 
…but the ellipsis,
of all punctuators, remains open for interpretation
…those three dots,
open time and space to
invite a way across the expanse
from there … to here … to there
from then … to now … to then
 
no full stop here…
the ellipsis is the dancer…
born to keep moving on
only ever one step or gesture away from
inspiration and invention,
colourful,
energized,
often messy,
while in the creation of its own design
appearing chaotic in the discovery of control
and always on the edge of yes and?
those three steps,
the last of which suspends in mid-air…
forever leading us somewhere new.
 
no coda yet...
 the ellipsis is the music…
its three notes and unique time signature…
where in the spaces in between
a promise that
‘anything’s possible’
resonates within us and moves us forward
towards the next verse…
 
this is the way of the ellipsis
as it simultaneously reminds us
that we have come from somewhere,
are going somewhere else
and that in this immediate moment,
this place we are right now,
we’re home
and free
to take a breath,
stand on the edge,
scan the horizon
to see
to listen
and
to reflect
in order that we might
elevate our next dream,
gather our superpowers,
and ready ourselves to leap
into our best future
with the simplest of questions…
 
What’s next?
