Time Is Nowhere


"Time is nowhere.
We stand; leaves have not timed the summer.
No clock now needs
Tell we have only what we remember:

Minutes uproaring with our heads
Like an unfortunate King's and his Queen's
When the senseless mob rules;

And quietly the trees casting their crowns
Into the pools."

  4. Gaston Studio,
    merci! *throwskisses*

    I am sitting here, archiving my 2009 files,
    sorting, deleting, burning 2x. I am a burned child,
    lost too many pictures back in September, due to my own recklessness.

    Thank you all for always being so kind and encouraging with your comments. I owe you more than you could ever imagine. A big merci to all of you!
    A merry Christmas and holiday season to all of you,
    Merisi

    like a softly whispered
    secret
    tucked into
    a corner...

    glowing.

  6. Ye gods and little fishes, what a heartbreaking poem! And the pictures are perfect for it.

    I'm dying to know who the headless black-coated person in the window is.
