"Gravity"

John Mayor

Gravity is working against me

And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man

With all the love that his heart can stand

Dream of ways to throw it all away

Oh, gravity is working against me

And gravity wants to bring me down

[2x]

Oh twice as much ain't twice as good

And can't sustain like one half could

It's wanting more

That's gonna send me to my knees

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me

And gravity has taken better men than me (now how can that be?)

Just keep me where the light is

Just keep me where the light is

Just keep me where the light is

C'mon keep me where the light is

C'mon keep me where the light is

C'mon keep me where keep me where the light is (oh, oh

The peace of wild things

By Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought

of grief. I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light. For a time

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Gratitude to Mother Earth, sailing through night and day—

and to her soil: rich, rare and sweet

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to Plants, the sun-facing, light-changing leaf

and fine root-hairs; standing still through wind

and rain; their dance is in the flowering spiral grain

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to Air, bearing the soaring Swift and silent

Owl at dawn. Breath of our song

clear spirit breeze

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to Wild Beings, our brothers, teaching secrets,

freedoms, and ways; who share with us their milk;

self-complete, brave and aware

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to Water: clouds, lakes, rivers, glaciers;

holding or releasing; streaming through all

our bodies salty seas

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to the Sun: blinding pulsing light through

trunks of trees, through mists, warming caves where

bears and snakes sleep— he who wakes us—

in our minds so be it.

Gratitude to the Great Sky

who holds billions of stars— and goes yet beyond that—

beyond all powers, and thoughts

and yet is within us—

Grandfather Space.

The Mind is his Wife.

so be it.

Untitled

by Dawna Markova

I will not die an unlived life,

I will not live in fear

Of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days

To allow my living to open me,

To make me less afraid,

more accessible,

To loosen my heart

Until it becomes a wing,

A torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance; to live

So that which came to me as seed

Goes to the next as blossom

And that which came to me as blossom

Goes on as fruit.

Why i chose this poem:

I chose this poem because i feel that it explains how they don't want to live boring life before they die. They want to do as much as they can so that the next person can have an even better life.
