The Poetry of Life


Alas for those that Never Sing

"Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them."

Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Voiceless



Time Enough

"The butterfly counts not months but moments,
and has time enough."

Rabindranath Tagore




Don't Stop Kissing

"though love be a day
and life be nothing,
it shall not stop kissing."

e.e. cummings




Your One Wild and Precious Life

"...Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?"

Mary Oliver



The Seed at the Bottom of Your Heart

"Find the seed
at the bottom of your heart
and bring forth a flower.

Shigenori Kameoka




The Side Roads of Life

"The more side roads you stop to explore,
the less likely that life will pass you by."

Robert Brault



I Held a Moment in my Hand

"I held a moment in my hand,
brilliant as a star,
fragile as a flower,
a tiny sliver of one hour.
I dropped it carelessly, 
Ah!
I didn't know,
I held opportunity."

Hazel Lee



Carpe Diem~Come to Life Daily


"We die daily.
Happy those
who daily come to life as well."

George MacDonald

Sue, you have a wonderful way of bringing such lightness to heavy thoughts.

Thanks, Jean. But what is life, but lightness and poetry when viewed through a filter of love and hope?
