a doubt soon becomes
clear like the morning stream
leaving us muddled
as the plouged field
yet as life dictates
we would carry on
like the plouged field
undulating between
water and earth
making each step
they encroach onto our shell
stamped with mud and dirt
inspired by
A doubt if it be Us
A doubt if it be Us
Assists the staggering Mind
In an extremer Anguish
Until it footing find.
An Unreality is lent,
A merciful Mirage
That makes the living possible
While it suspends the lives.
Emily Dickinson
