"Between the river and the ravens I'm fed, sweet deliverer you lift up my head, lead me in your way."

Possibilites

It's natural to have a slight obsession with Emily Dickinson. My father is actually the one who introduced her to me.  Having loved her for a while,
he felt like the two of us would get along.

I Dwell in Possibly
 Emily Dickinson

I dwell in Possibility--
A fairer House than Prose--
More numerous of Windows--
Superior--for Doors--
Of Chambers as the Cedars--
Impregnable of Eye--
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky--
Of Visitors--the fairest--
For Occupation--This--
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise--
