these pictures are so eerie, so quiet, so beautiful...

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and
milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;
whose rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea
--
My favorite line in this poem is "as small as a world and as large as alone"... the magnitude of
loneliness can feel so much larger than the world we live in...
