Dreams, Illusions, Bubbles, Shadows

27 February 2006

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.

I always think 6 is a magical number.

The Sea of Sunset
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!

Night after night her purple traffic Strews the landing with opal bales;
Merchantmen poise upon horizons,
Dip, and vanish with fairy sails.

Why do I love you more
at sunset
when the glory of the day
is fading away
into the unknown?
