"When I look around I think this, this is good enough
And I try to laugh at whatever life brings
Cause when I look down I just miss all the good stuff
And when I look up I just trip over things" - Ani Difranco

"If language were liquid it would be rushing in.
Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any words could ever be.
These words are too solid. They don't move fast enough
To capture the blur in the brain that flies by... and is gone
And is gone
Gone
Gone"
- Suzanne Vega

"Like a dessert rose I sit at your feet
Like a dessert rose I sit at your feet
Trolling for a raindrop to fall from your lips
To fall from your lips

I'm waiting to be awoken and borne by your calling
I'm waiting to be awoken and born by your calling
I'm waiting

The blood red lullaby is rocking my throat
Uhh-ahh-ungh-aahh-uh-unh
My whole being trembles in dumb mimicry
In dumb mimicry

To echo and to savour every sound that you utter
To echo and to savour every sound that you utter
To echo"
- Sheila Chandra

"How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."
- Ranier Maria Rilke

"You darkness, that I come from,
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes
a circle of light for everyone,
and then no one outsde learns of you.

But the darkness pulls in everything:
shapes and fires, animals and myself,
how easily it gatahers them! -
powers and people -

and it is possible a great energy
is moving near me.

I have faith in nights."
- Ranier Maria Rilke

"somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands"
- e.e. cummings
