A melody between the two worlds

[lh33334]

When he becomes old
He will still pray for you
In the sunset
he is merely
an unnoticeable grass blade

In the moonlight and starlight
who would enjoy the dance of the fireflies?
No one but the pulse of the soul
chanting a melody
a melody between the two worlds

Small quibble: is the word "the" necessary in the last line ?

I am glad that you enjoyed the poem.

As for the definite article "the" in "between the two worlds", you really pointed out something interesting. I hesitated whether to use it when I was writing the last line. At last, I decided to use it since the poem as a whole is implying something between this world and the hereafter. So when I came to the last line, my thinking was still focused on the two worlds ( this world and the hereafter)---the two worlds "implied" in the previous lines even though the word of "world" was not presented.

But I think, if it is dropped, it won't affect the meaning too much.

Reader maybe have better understanding on the usage of "the" , I am open to correction, please share your opinions.
Thanks again for your reading.
