If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger. <br /> -- Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

Reality is a ripple
On a mirror
Stolen from a memory
Dreaming on the edge of sleep
Trickles and trickles
Rubbing gently
Just like always
Experience is a slow tapping
On the window of the soul
A doorbell breaking the silence
Starting from a sleepy state
Where all is gossamer
Happiness is a forgetful place
That remembers all
Kiss pressed to forehead
Gnetle music and meaningless song
Spring breeze touching the past
Goodnight and wait for morning

Another rough poem that I wrote on impulse. I suppose I was trying to capture the way being alive feels to me.
