The Place Marked

  

In a moment trapped in time

The vested image of the thing I read

The thought complete: the thought

Then put aside, I rest my knowing

Of my captured, capsule of ideas  

Until another bright peaceful

Opportune time . . .

Where I Close My Book

Where I close this book the place I mark

Where shut, every trace of where I've been is gone     

Yet, when I put aside all this thought awhile

Still it lives, the intriguing thing, the pearl

In a place it marks its own within my heart
