Poetry

"Put your soul into words

Paint daydreams out of your imagination

Sing the songs of your heart

And let your thoughts dance out

Into the world

To leave mysteries in others' minds"

~ Elspeth Blunt

Unicorn

The Bumblebee Quote

The Smart Quote

Who

Unicorn

All that lives of legendry,

Beauty, magic, mystery,

Gentleness and purity,

Dwells in me.

I no mate, no kin, have known;

None may claim me as his own;

One is one, and all alone,

It must be

Through their weariness and woe

Men have sometimes seen me go,

Felt a wind from Eden blow

Suddenly;

Though they hunt with spear and horn,

Knowing life cannot be borne

If they have no unicorn --

I am free.

Though they kill, and weep to see

Beauty's symbol ended be --

One is one and lives in me

To eternity.

~ Nicholas Stuart Gray (whoever that is)
 
The Bumblebee Quote

According to the laws of Aerodynamics, the bumblebee

cannot fly. I guess no one bothered to tell the bee.

 

The Smart Quote

Be smarter than others, just don’t tell them so

 

Who

Who says the night is evil

Who seeks friendship from the sun

Who will always triumph

When the day of death is done

 

Who understands their suffering

Who seeks their hopeless eyes

Who can feel their endless pain

Who sees through blinding lies

 

Who will stand up with me

When the world is kneeling down

Who will show the people

That they cannot make us drown

 

The night will be our ally

The sun our garish foe

The people are our mission

We have to let them know

 

The silver moon our guidance

Our rhythm the heartbeat

Of the hundred thousand others

Who won’t accept defeat

~ By Me
