Description The trees be my steeple,
Clouds my countless rafters,
The earth be my pew,
World my breathless preacher,
May life be my songs,
And my life the offering,
Drink in communion brooks,
Which also baptize me,
Sweet birds a timeless choir,
Crickets live as strings,
My, oh my, when falls the sun,
A silver bell does ring!

That's lovely
The first thing I thought when I read it was indeed Emily Dickinson. The poem you're talking about ([link] ) is probably my favorite ever. Both yours and hers describe exactly how I feel.

Aww, thanks for the link! I couldn't remember anything but the point behind the poem, and I really wanted it for my "authors comment".

I love her...she's brilliant. ^_^

You're very much correct. It is the poem, and it's wonderful!
