Emily Dickinson, "Forever — is composed of Nows —"

Forever – is composed of Nows –


‘Tis not a different time –

Except for Infiniteness –

And Latitude of Home –



From this – experienced Here –

Remove the Dates – to These –

Let Months dissolve in further Months –

And Years – exhale in Years –



Without Debate – or Pause –

Or Celebrated Days –

No different Our Years would be

From Anno Dominies –



- Emily Dickinson, "Forever — is composed of Nows —"
