I measured out my life
In evening sunsets
And morning glories
Sprinkled with gentle rains.

Life shines most brightly
In nature’s healing light
In the glimmering blues,
In the golden hours of infinite depth.

The murmuring rivers
Whisper enchanting stories
Of a heart’s longing
For boundless beauty.

When stars emerge,
And night enfolds,
I count my joys
In the stillness of the dome of the sky.

Each petal and drop of dew
Reflects the splendor
Of life’s art,
In tranquil balance,
Where the soul rests.

With every breath, I find
Nature’s timeless embrace,
And the symphony of creation
Plays sweetly on.

“I measured out my life”

• Emily Dickinson
