Velvet Leaf
Velvet leaf flutter in the wind,
Fall upon the bed of flowers so lightly,
Carry my soul in your evening flight
Let me observe your glory
Until you fall on my bedroom windows,
As I ponder deep into my heart,
To find a final thought for a pillow,
I take a breath so deep with fear
Of what the morrow’s sun will bring near.
Through purple blue night sky I search to find a sign
Of what the morrow’s essence will find.
And what is it but a dream marked by the
white face of a clock?
If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
