The Mist and All

Dixie Wilson

I like the fall,

The mist and all.

I like the night owl’s

Lonely call-

And wailing sound

Of wind around.

I like the grey

November day

And bare dead boughs

That coldly sway

Against my pane.

I like the rain.

I like to sit

And laugh at it –

And tend

My cozy fire a bit.

I like the fall –

The mist and all.

Risk

Author Unknown

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

To reach out for another is to risk involvement.

To expose your feelings is to risk

exposing your true self.

To place your ideas, your dreams

before the crowd is to risk loss.

To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To live is to risk dying.

To hope is to risk despair.

To try is to risk failure.

But risk must be taken because the greatest tragedy in life is to risk nothing.

The person who risks nothing, does

nothing, is nothing, has nothing.

They may avoid suffering and sorrow

but they simply cannot learn, feel,

change, grow, love, live.

Only a person who risks is free.

Watch your Thoughts

Frank Outlaw

Watch your thoughts…

They become your words.

Watch your words…

They become your actions.

Watch your actions…

They become your habits.

Watch your habits…

Your habits become your character.

Watch your character…

It becomes your destiny.

The Brain

Emily Dickinson

The Brain – is wider than the Sky –

For – put them side by side –

The one the other will contain

With ease – and You – beside –

The Brain is deeper than the sea –

For – hold them – Blue to Blue –

The one the other will absorb –

As Sponges – Buckets – do –

The Brain is just the weight of God –

For – Heft them – Pound for Pound –

And they will differ – if they do –

As Syllable from Sound –

Fire and Ice

Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction

Ice is also great

And would suffice.

Dust of Snow

dust of snow

Robert Frost

The way a crow

Shook down on me

The dust of snow

From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart

A change of mood

And saved some part

Of a day I had rued.

Dreams

Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dream

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.
