Poetry Quote by Naomi Shihab Nye — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“you will never catch up.”

“I'm like the weather, never really can predict when this rain cloud's gonna burst; when it's the high or it's the low, when you might need a light jacket.”

“Poetry [is] more necessary than ever as a fire to light our tongues.”

“Apparently people commonly died when their loved ones were out of the room. Bathroom break. Quick trip down to the cafeteria for a grilled cheese. It was easier to die if you didn't have family members to worry about at that exact moment.”

“Kindness”

“Anyone who says, “Here’s my address,”

“the flames are silent,”

“hanging at the corner
of then and now
the
everything”

“a happy birthday”

“Death is here and death is there,”

“The most beautiful part of your body”

“Thus weary of the world, away she hies,”
