“I’m sorry for smudging the air with my song” -Leonard Cohen

In the misty silvered night My eyes fall to the ground I can feel it come alive In the seeds pushing out through the soil New life weaves its way out through the coil Nothing’s going to hold this movement down -Peter Gabriel #lyrics #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

So little time Try to understand that I'm Tryin' to make a move just to stay in the game, I'm Tryin' to stay awake and remember my name, but Everybody's changing and I don't feel the same -Keane #lyrics #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness. -Henry David Thoreau #Nature #poetry #writingcommunity #walden #jounal

If it be your will That I speak no more And my voice be still As it was before I will speak no more I shall abide until I am spoken for If it be your will Leonard Cohen #lyrics #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

I set out one night When the tide was low There were signs in the sky But I did not know I'd be caught in the grip Of the undertow Ditched on a beach Where the sea hates to go With a child in my arms And a chill in my soul And my heart the shape Of a begging bowl Leonard Cohen #lyrics #poetry

Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on I'm just paying my rent every day Oh in the Tower of Song -Leonard Cohen #lyrics #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

Howard Pyle Marooned 1909 This painting shows that it is nearly impossible to be a Wyeth (pick which one) fan and not be a Pyle fan. #artist #painting #illustration #painting #arthistory #art #oil

N.C. Wyeth The Drowning Oil on canvas 1936 I love discovering Wyeth paintings and drawings I’ve never seen before. This one surprised me. It’s all there, yet I would not have said “That is obviously N.C!” Via- Brandywine River Museum #Art #artist #Arthistory #artist #painting #expressionism

In this proud land we grew up strong We were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name But no one wants you when you lose -Peter Gabriel

N. C. Wyeth The Lobsterman (The Doryman), 1944 Egg tempera on wood Not your typical or well known Wyeth. You can see everything that made his illustration work great, but this is something else. A foot in the door of fine art. #art #artist #painter #illustrator #arthistory #fineart

I am standing up at the water's edge In my dream I cannot make a single sound As you scream It can't be that cold The ground is still warm to touch Hey, we touch This place is so quiet, sensing that storm -Peter Gabriel #lyrics #poem #poetry #writingcommunity #musicsky #musiciansky #music

I did not know And I could not see Who was waiting there, Who was hunting me. By the rivers dark, Where it all goes on; By the rivers dark In Babylon. -Leonard Cohen #lyrics #poem #poetry #writingcommunity #photography #abstract #photoart

Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Any truth is better than make-believe. -Henry David Thoreau #lyrics #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

I wonder how many people in this city live in furnished rooms. Late at night when I look out at the buildings I swear I see a face in every window looking back at me and when I turn away I wonder how many go back to their desks and write this down. -Leonard Cohen #Poetry #Writerscommunity #poem

“Ah! When a man has traveled, and robbed the horizon of his native fields of its mystery and poetry, its indefinite promise, tarnished the blue of distant mountains with his feet, when he has done this, he may begin to think of another world. What is this longer to him?” #Thoreau #prosepoetry #poem

Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth. -Henry David Thoreau #Nature #poetry #writingcommunity #walden #jounal

N.C. Wyeth "From an upper snow platform to which the hard blocks were thrown, a second man heaved them over the bank." 1906 - Oil Illustrators get a bad rap. It’s like a derogatory term. N.C. Wyeth was a master of artistic perspective. #artist #painting #illustrator

I stumbled out of bed I got ready for the struggle I smoked a cigarette And I tightened up my gut I said this can't be me Must be my double And I can't forget, I can't forget I can't forget but I don't remember what -Leonard Cohen #lyrics #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

Just how long do you want to hate With all that anger to burn You dream of revenge and you dream of reply You’d hope that someday we’d learn Every time you think of that hurt It spins around in your mind With an eye for an eye again and again Until the whole world is blind -Peter Gabriel #poetry
