The Awakening Of Miss Emily

She opened up her hands;

And all the stars were clustered there;

For the sky was completely empty-

It was all that she could bear.

She opened up her eyes;

And the planets wandered there-

For the moon revolved around Miss Emily;

The girl with the ethereal stare.

And silence was upon her;

For she always lived within-

And bright moonbeams danced within her soul;

Then came out again.
