poems for labor
In the midst of the chaos
When the wind is howling I hear
the ancient song
Of the ones who went before
And know that peace will come
-Susan Stauter
May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries,
May the breeze blow new strength into your being,
May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life. –Apache blessing
For as long as it lasts let the singer be the song.
For as much as it’s worth let the truth outweigh the lies.
For this single moment in time let my own voice be heard.
–Susan Stauter
“Come to the edge,” he said.
They said, “We are afraid.”
“Come to the edge,” he said.
They came.
He pushed them and they flew.
-Apollinaire
What lies behind us and what lies
before us are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. –Vincent Van Gogh
