A Moment's Indulgence

coolsam • 3 followers

I ask for a moment's indulgence to sit by thy side. The works that I have in hand I will finish afterwards.

Away from the sight of thy face my heart knows no rest nor respite, and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil

Today the summer has come at my window with its sighs and murmurs; and the bees are plying their minstrelsy at the court of the flowering grove.

Now it is time to sit quite, face to face with thee, and to sing dedication of life in this silent and overflowing leisure.

Rabindranath Tagore

the city blinks the sky's lid closing the wind tickles me like lashes and the moon brushes my cheek the night takes me in holds me tightly, safely.

I want to paint what I think But my mind is on the brink Of falling down a deep dark well A place you do not want to dwell No ladder to escape the night Just need wings and I'll take flight.
