Black, silver, white,
moonlight...
I felt so much like you
without the fame, the looks, the money...
Time, that thing--it is always changing
--itself, and all else, of course...
I looked across and saw
sparks, streaming, exploding, the smoke rising...
I looked down from the balcony
and jewels winked up at me, flashing...
There is a river here
and I am on the wrong side, so I'm told...
I looked down from the balcony
and jewels winked up at me, flashing...
Why now the mist fills my nostrils
why there is a mint freshness in those passages...
A pencil skitters across my desk.
I'm ready for a break from studying...
My joy is astronomical
as my lawn becomes my observatory...
The call comes;
some answer it...
Once again the time has come
A sacred time...
