And took to it with a shining.

One White Tree

Tall ships and tall kings
Three times three.
What brought they from the foundered land
Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars and seven stones
And one white tree.

- JRR Tolkien

A whispered sigh, soft, so soft it fades

Those Who Are Near Me Do Not Know

Those who are near me do not know that you are nearer to me than they are
Those who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your unspoken words
Those who crowd in my path do not know that I am walking alone with you
They who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart.

-Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)
