Midafternoon in November

March 28, 2014 By Erika Leigh Leave a Comment

In moments like these My time stands still Past and future is gone My ego submits to my will The warm breeze on my skin The damp clouds in the sky The silence hanging in the air The city immeasurably shy Like the calm upon a lake Before the sky breaks A thickness and an ease That Earth gracefully makes My heart is suspended Neither heavy nor light Gravity gives way Inertia’s lost … [Read more...] about Midafternoon in November
