The featured imaged above is photo I took today, because coincidently, I happen to be reading a book of Emily Dickinson’s poems … and thank you to my neice Kerri, (a graphic design artist) for cleverly enhancing the image, so as to make the words legible .. (my original photo was deplorable due to bright reflections from the midday sun)
Dear Emily
Your mystical words speak to me
About yesteryear
And beyond today
Where smiles and dimples
Live within bandaged moments
Of my soul
Your book describes the universe
From Celestial lists
To below nature’s dome
Where birds and butterflies
Live within unruffled moments
Of the sky
Your worldly wisdom fills my dreams
From babbling brooks
To mountainous oceans
Where imagination flows freely
And lives within loving moments
Of my heart
