Every little thing counts
In a heartbeat
the door is closed to yesterday
Between heartbeats
shadows of the day flicker to and fro
Drifting between heartbeats
is the ghost of a smile.
Between heartbeats
little things of beauty
that no one can name
dance and tease
waking up stubborn eyes
to a day worth smiling for
It's past midnight now,
I can follow the flow of heartbeats
till the morrow dawn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

by Emily Dickinson
This is the land the sunset washes,
These are the banks of the Yellow Sea;
Where it rose, or whither it rushes,
These are the western mystery!
Merchantmen poise upon horizons,
Dip, and vanish with fairy sails.

at sunset
when the glory of the day
is fading away
into the unknown?
