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

“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.”

“Here it is:”

“I denied it,”

“What if, instead of carrying”

“I like the lady horses best,”

“All I’ve been working on is napping, and maybe being kinder to others, to myself.”

“Why love what you will lose?”

“Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems,”

“I asked him for it.”

“Don't ask her to be a rock”

“The horses suddenly began to neigh, protesting”

“Don't tell me you're not beautiful. You're the kind of beautiful the blind would see if we could figure out some way to give them three seconds of sight.”
