   Not always but sometimes.

   When I put on some music
   The world stops, rain drops;
   Each moment; frozen on life's sill
   Mid-splash. Slap-dash
   Reflexive lashing back against it stills

   Stillness, stills, stops, drops

   And jagged, shattered patterns
   On the glass dissolve
   Sleepy riverain across the pane
   In sheets of folded liquid fain
   Resolve

   Into a view, a distant shimm'ring brae
   Mist shrouded gloaming forests, pinprick crows
   A cottage like a fleck of granite grey
   Warm hearth within, the window's curtain glows

   And all the dusk is liquid quiet and waits
   And all the dusk is liquid quiet, and waits.

   Not always. But sometimes.
