I Carry Your Heart With Me

An excerpt from one of my favorite E.E. Cummings' poems

...here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart


i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken
   -Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 


Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,


And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.


I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Just Because...

Just Because I Woke Up,
Just Because I Slept,
Just Because the Sun was Shining,
Just Because it Rained...

Just Because You Smiled,
Just Because You Frowned,
Just Because of Joy,
Just Because of Pain...

i am happy today,
Just Because...

Just Because I Have a Voice,
Just Because I Have a Vision,
Just Because I Feel Free,
Just Because I am Sane.

i am happy today.
