I wrote these during the first paper of EST (the subjective one) yesterday.

Anticipation (2:58 p.m.)

Ever throbbing, my heart

Against these walls, that echo --

Go!

Ever prancing, my hopes are

Ready in a flash, to

Leap upon this chance, for

Young I am.

Infinite seconds dripping by...

Would that it might

Arrive in a flash;

Impossible, but well so, for the wait

Teaches me to appreciate.

Halcyon (3:06 p.m.)

Open up, moment of moments

Where the spirit longs to be;

Thou fleeting second heaven-sent

That arriveth now for me.

The distant drumming of a lover's dream

With swirling colours fading fast;

Appears as speedily as light might seem

And then no more -- its light is past.

But light that travels at much speed

Doth touch a point, is then reversed;

And like a tree that grows to a seed

Brings back the dreamer to the days at first.

Halcyon moment, wait for me.
