Quiet thoughts are not so quiet as they make their way into the night, they flow as distant thunder, they sound as distant cries, and upon them all is carried the secrets of the heart, the softest rain parts mountains, and so quiet thoughts tear souls apart. ~ B.T.
Falling in love…the vision…so poetic…but no. I jumped…leapt off the cliff knowing what I was diving into…the depths of either of the highest elation or deepest despair…maybe a bit a both. But it was you…you and every maddening thing you bring to this boring existence. So I dove…head first…giving body, heart, and soul. ~ B.T.
“But at the right time—it had to be the right time.”
— Louise Glück, from The Complete Poems of L. G.: 1962-2012; “Landscape,”
