Resilience Remembers

Horizon in motion

Ocean’s endless expanse

Mystery’s eternal depths

Human voice seeks to dance

 

Moonbeams highlight each wave

Travels to distant shores

Midnight’s faithful companion

Tales from ancient folklore

 

Tranquility escapes

Lost in approaching storm

Each draft shredded over time

Empty memories swarm

 

Resilience remembers

Words waiting to arrive

Every star invited in

Ready for next test drive

 

Tomorrow will arrive

Darkness finally leaves

Sunrise gathers novel thoughts

Writer’s patience believes

Robert Frost Quotes

Nature is always hinting at us.  It hints over and over again.  And suddenly we take the hint.

There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.

Robert Frost (1874-1963) was an American poet.  He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry four times (only poet to be so honored).  Much of his poetry used rural settings from early 20th century New England.

Carl Sandburg Quotes

Nothing happens unless first we dream.

Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) was an American writer and journalist.  Many of his works centered around poetry (he preferred “free verse’) and writing biographies.  One of his most well-received biographies was about American President Abraham Lincoln.  He received three Pulitzer Prizes (two for poetry and one for his Lincoln biography).  Sandburg was born in Galesburg, Illinois.
