Gossamer Wings

On gossamer wings she floats through thoughts of timeless dreams and pages unturned. Words written but left unread for years as centuries turn to new. Her course was set before her time, now deep within she feels her fragile heart even as it breaks again. New words to write of courage or loss, or words perhaps of gossamer wings that carry her home.

What an amazing statement about the life and work of Emily Dickinson, Anita. The title caught my attention as she is the only one who ever used these words in poetry. Indeed, she waited a lifetime only to have her work discovered after her death. She is one of my favorites, Anita, and this poem is now too! Love, Carolyn
