Elizabeth Bishop, “One Art”

Elizabeth Bishop, “One Art”:

sharingpoetry:

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:

““We need, in love, to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easily; we do not need to learn it.””

- Rainer Maria Rilke

“By sheer grace, God will not permit us to live even for a brief period in a dream world. He does not abandon us to those rapturous experiences and lofty moods that come over us like a dream. God is not a God of the emotions but the God of truth. Only that fellowship which faces such disillusionment, with all its unhappy and ugly aspects, begins to be what it should be in God’s sight, begins to grasp in faith the promise that is given to it.”

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Psalm 46 - Jenny & Tyler [audio + lyrics] (by jennyandtylermusic)

The Lord is my refuge and strength
Therefore I will not be afraid
Though the mountains give way
and fall into the sea
He will come and rescue me

The Lord comes to me at break of day
He reaches down to guide me in His ways
Though the oceans roar
in this dark and stormy sea
He will come and rescue me

Hallelujah, He is with me
Hallelujah, we cannot be moved
Hallelujah, He is with me
Hallelujah, I rest secure

Be still and know that He is God
He will be exalted over all
Come and behold His strength and majesty
yet He will come and rescue me

Hallelujah, He is with me
Hallelujah, we cannot be moved
Hallelujah, He is with me
Hallelujah, I rest secure

Tue, 15 May 2012 16:09:54 +0800

““Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.””

- ― Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum

A Little Longer (by TheRyanmgolden)

“You don’t have to do a thing
Just simply be with me and let those things go
‘Cause they can wait another minute

Wait, this moment is too sweet
Would you please stay here with Me
And love on Me a little longer?”

"I get it now. I get it. The things you hope for the most are the things that destroy you in the end."

“

You have the right to love
and be loved as well.
The right to, not just break but, shatter from your shell.
Run free, run proud
sing to me and sing it loud.
Slacks and dresses spinning and twirling,
backs and arms bending and curling.
Dance like the puppets do
not seeing the strings touching you.

please puppet master loosen your grip
please god let his hand slip

Listen to me love there’s no need
for the begging and the pleading,
there’s no reason for the weeping and the bleeding.
Never stray from what’s true in your heart
and like a soft candle light,
it will guide you through the dark.

Now I’ve spoke with your master
it’s not such a disaster,
he told me with no laughter,
“No one will ever out last her.”

But the grey sky above has killed my sense of love
and with so much to talk about
but nothing left to say,
I bit my tongue
and just walked away.

”

Fountains - Jon Thurlow (by steeleeyonskee)

Cause all your fountains are in me
And I have everything you need.
Just keep coming back to me.
Those who call upon my name,
They will not be put to shame,
Just keep coming back to me.
