"Find ecstasy in life ...."

Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.

Emily Dickinson

"I stepped from plank ...."

I stepped from plank to plank

So slow and cautiously;

The stars about my head I felt,

About my feet the sea.

I knew not but the next

Would be my final inch.

This gave me that precarious gait

Some call experience.

Emily Dickinson

"They might not need me; yet they might."

"They might not need me; yet they might.

I’ll let my Heart be just in sight;

A smile so small as mine might be

Precisely their necessity."
