Poetry Quote by Ada Limon — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“What if, instead of carrying”

“I denied it,”

“I imagine what it must be like to stay hidden, disappear in the dusky nothing and stay still in the night. It’s not sadness, though it may sound like it. I’m thinking about people and trees and how I wish I could be silent more, be more tree than anything else, less clumsy and loud, less crow, more cool white pine, and how it’s hard not to always want something else, not just to let the savage grass grow.”

“I like the lady horses best,”

“I am not obsessing.”

“Here it is:”

“I think i should get love inked on my skin.”

“O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!”

“But to go to school in a summer morn,”

“Ah, Lalage! while life is ours,”

“Only one is a wanderer.”

“I”
