Inspirational Poems

When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer

Walt Whitman

When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in
columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams,
to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where
he lectured with much applause in the
lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and
sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by
myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time
to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars

Fall, Leaves, Fall
Emily Bronte

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day

Tears From The Sea

By Deborah

The oceans waters are close to our own tears.
Every drop. Renewed hope.

Replenishing life.

At times it can defy understanding.
leave you standing there guarding all your youth,

like a fortress that you’ve

Spent a life time building.

While waiting for wisdom to visit.

Knocking loudly at that big door.

You look back and ask..
Where did it go?

It was bluer I swear it was!
It was full of life.

Animals looking longer for anything.

Going where they didn’t come from.
Trying to survive.
Help us! They cry..
The sea is our home.It is our future.
The sea is a vast..

Place.

Of you, and me, and him, and her.

How can we turn and not care?
It’s in danger it’s different now…Can’t you see?

The tears from the sea,
of you and me.

Letting Go

As hard as this may be

I know what I must do

This feeling is killing me

Knowing that I have to let go of you

I’ve held on for too long

The rope is growing thin

Something so right went wrong

The light is growing dim

There is only so much that one person can take

I have a breaking point too

This sensation is so hard to shake

It hurts so much to love you

If I don’t leave now

I’ll be forever trapped in your web

And I don’t know how

But I won’t be able to get you out of my head

It’s never easy

Having to say goodbye

But you have to let go of me

Allow me to spread my wings and fly

Before I go

Let me say one last thing

Just so you know

You will always be my everything
