Poetry Quote by Andrea Gibson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“So build yourself as beautiful as you want your world to be. Wrap yourself in light then give yourself away with your heart, your brush, your march, your art, your poetry, your play. And for every day you paint the war, take a week and paint the beauty, the color, the shape of the landscape you’re marching towards. Everyone knows what you’re against; show them what you’re for.”

“When your heart is broken you plant seeds in the cracks”

“I wrote too many poems in a language I did not yet know how to speak”

“We are all instruments pulling the bows across our own lungs. Windmills, still startling in every storm. Have you ever seen a newborn blinking at the light? I wanna do that every day. I wanna know what the kite called itself when it got away, when it escaped into the night...”

““Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they're falling like”

“That night when you kissed me, I left a poem in your mouth, and you can hear some of the lines every time you breathe out.”

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.”

“Lord, may the pain be ours, And the weakness that it brings, But at least give us the strength, Of not showing it to anyone!”

“In a serener Bright,”

“My father's love was always strongMy mother's glamour lives on and on.Yet still inside I felt alone, for reasones unknow to me.”

“Out of the night that covers me,”

“She has learned to love. To fear. To hate. And then to love again. Through it all, she writes.” ~Once Upon A Time There Was A Girl”
