I will use this thread to share poems by other artists 


Where my Books Go by W B Yeats

All the words that I gather,

   And all the words that I write,

Must spread out their wings untiring,

   And never rest in their fight,

Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,

   And sing to you in the night,

Beyond where the waters are moving,

   Storm darkened or starry bright.

The Roses - Mary Oliver


One day in summer

when everything 

has already been more than enough

the wild beds start

exploding open along the berm

of the sea; day after day

you sit near them; day after day

the honey keeps on coming

in the red cups and the bees

like amber drops roll

in the petals: there is no end,

believe me! to the inventions of the summer,

to the happiness your body

is willing to bear.

Instead of Depression

By Andrea Gibson


try calling it hibernation

Imagine the darkness is a cave 

in which you will be nurtured

by doing absolutely nothing.

Hibernating animals don't even dream.

It's okay if you can't imagine

Spring. Sleep through the alarm

of the world. Name your hopelessness

a quiet hollow, a place you go

to heal, a den you dug.

Sweetheart, instead

of a grave.
