Forever is composed of nows. - Emily Dickinson

"Long Years apart — can make no"

Long Years apart — can make no
Breach a second cannot fill — The absence of the Witch does not
Invalidate the spell — The embers of a Thousand Years
Uncovered by the Hand
That fondled them when they were Fire
Will stir and understand —

When the Best is gone - I know that other things are not of consequence - The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care.

I tell her we all shall fly so soon, not to let it grieve her, and what indeed is Earth but a Nest, from whose rim we are all falling?
