or maybe absolutely nothing
The moon shines upon the snow
Two swallows dance
The moon reflects the snow & my eyes reflect the moon
wolves howl at the full moon
hand in hand. Are you sure this is where you want to go?
As the North Wind Blows, the squirrel goes down below
[...transcription / translation forthcoming...]
The acorn grows.
Time passes things change
And running under it all this tunnel vision of love
Obey ~ Receive ~ Believe
All will come and all will be seen in Due time
[...transcription / translation forthcoming...]
And when sight ends, still the song
Rings through the night, into the dawn
[...transcription / translation forthcoming...]
like a million trees forming an ocean of green
the universe, yah know?
My Queen/King, My empress/emperor, my beautiful nebula, love yourself for you are the 8th wonder of the world.
The art of knowing, the burden of knowledge...
Knowledge that we are human, and the beauty that comes with thought...
Howl at the moon!
Si me quieres, quiéreme entera, no en zonas de luz o sombra [if you love me, love me whole, not in areas of light or shadow]
[...transcription / translation forthcoming...]
That love transcends space, time, and body
Like the warmth of melted honey, that's how it feels when you look at me...
But when I look at you, all I see are swirls of green
And blue, like the sea, is how I see you
Swim with manatees, sharks will bite
how strange are our reflections in the sand.
tornado warnings become sweet melodies of grace.
And when I'm looking at my life, painkillers only put me in the twilight.
Do not go gentle into that goodnight
The water knows!
and one day, the water will share her secrets.
This year’s celebration takes as inspiration the poem "The Carrying" by Ada Limón, and its final line:
“...we were all meant for something.”
Community members were invited to visit the East Entrance of Norlin Library on April 5th, 2023 and April 6th, 2023 to create poetry in community, engage with librarians and receive a pocket poem to carry throughout the day. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!
