Drop by drop

Dew-drop and Diamond by Robert Graves 

The difference between you and her

(whom I to you did once prefer)

Is clear enough to settle:

She like a diamond shone, but you

Shine like an early drop of dew

Poised on a red rose petal.

The dew-drop carries in its eye

Mountain and forest, sea and sky,

With every change of weather;

Contrariwise, a diamond splits

The prospect into idle bits

That none can piece together.

Glass shattering within

 

 

Mystery of the moonlight

 

 

Moonlight slanting by Matsuo Basho 

Moonlight slanting

through the bamboo grove; 

a cuckoo crying.

A new day

Dreams in the dusk

 

 

 

 

Dreams in the dusk by Carl Sandburg 

Dreams in the dusk,
Only dreams closing the day
And with the day's close going back
To the gray things, the dark things,
The far, deep things of dreamland.

Dreams, only dreams in the dusk,
Only the old remembered pictures
Of lost days when the day's loss
Wrote in tears the heart's loss.

Tears and loss and broken dreams
May find your heart at dusk.

A past world

Amber bottles of nothing

 

 

 

 

  

Along came a spider

 

 

 

 

 

Little Ones

Ego and Pride
