MY EMILY DICKINSON POEMS
Edgar Degas " Woman in the Bathtub " 1886
A Poem " ETERNITY "
Reflecting on the morning dew
and smiling on the sea,
the sun arises, dawning
and sees me, `neath the tree.
It only seems a lifetime
since the ground was rent for me,
flowers dropping by the petal
I approached eternity.
“PURGATORY”
When death approached, I bowed my head
To Morpheus` crown,
not knowing that my soul would stay
in this body, tho` embalmed.
We see the soul as suffering
when purgatory bound,
that place unknown to mortals
is merely underground.
