a formal feeling comes--
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions--was it He that bore?
And yesterday--or centuries before?
Remembered if outlived,
As freezing persons recollect the snow--
First chill, then stupor, then the letting go.
Emily Dickinson
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
The stiff Heart questions--was it He that bore?
And yesterday--or centuries before?
The feet, mechanical, go round
A wooden way
Of ground, or air, or ought,
Regardless grown,
A quartz contentment, like a stone.
Remembered if outlived,
As freezing persons recollect the snow--
First chill, then stupor, then the letting go.
Emily Dickinson

By the light of the silvery moon
The moon is big and clear and stark white tonight. There is a layer of snow, glittery ice over everything and it's bitter cold. It's a beautiful night. My little Moonbeam, I feel you close. We honored you today in a way that gave me back some pride as a mother to you. I miss you deeply. Four years ago feels like a lifetime ago and yesterday and today it felt like it was the present again in my aching heart. I am sorry. I love you.
