There is a great deal of poetry
And fine sentiment
In a chest of tea.

Words are things,
And a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew upon a thought,
Produces that which makes thousands,
Perhaps millions,
* Think *
Lord Byron
Bring Me the Sunflower
Bring me the sunflower so I can transplant it
Here in my own field burned by salt-spray,
So it can show all day to the blue reflection of the sky
The anxiety of its golden face.
Darker things yearn for a clarity,
Bodies fade and exhaust themselves in a flood
Of colors, as colors do in music. To vanish,
Therefore, is the best of all good luck.
Bring me the plant that leads us
Where blond transparencies rise up
And life evaporates like an essence;
Bring me the sunflower sent mad with light.

In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you,
But sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

There’s something strange and powerful
About black-and-white imagery.

I believe the nicest and sweetest days
Are not those on which
Anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens,
But just those that bring simple little pleasures,
Following one another softly,
Like pearls slipping off a string.

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
‘Til what we put off ’til tomorrow
It has now become today
So don’t you sit upon the shoreline
And say you’re satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance that tide
Garth Brooks – The River
