the sunlight is warm
as a person walks a dog as flowers grow
the birds sings their songs

enjoy hope you like it,and its a poem by li-young lee ,and the book is behind my eyes

Snow on the roof.

All afternoon i read in the sunlit room
and jotted down words now and then.
troubled now and then by thoughts
of how long
the light would last. Now

shadows have amassed
at the feet of objects,and soon
the unmade bed,the scattered papers, the books
in rows and plies,the cups of tea gone cold,
the plates and crumbs from the lunch we shared,

will look stranded in the rising dark,
like wreackage from a ship spoiled by storm.
until i turn on a lamp
and see

the heart's sphere squared to make a room,
the mind's love entrusted
to a few words on a page.

hope you like it , and its a poem from behind my eyes by li-young lee

Whose house is this? nobody knows.
birds flying in and out of every window
all year long and doors swinging wide
in the wind both ways,towards the glow

of a imagined past,and toward the bride,
that fleeing girl,the future. She hides
by changing,escapes by standing still.
The secret of possession? go outside.

She'll come to rest inside you.Leave your will.
Meet your dark lender,evening, below the hill.
Her father,he'll tell you her name.
Then you'll ransom the hours amd heart you spent
playing house on property lent,
taste her name and for what your life is meant.

this is from behind my eyes written by li-young lee and it is a poem hope you enjoy it

''Years from now..."
''back then..."
"if only..."
thus,dreaming went on.

"From now on.."
"in that country.."
"were we ever.."
so dreaming continued
foward and backward.

"Who would have guessed.."
"my father never.."
"my mother would always.."
"and then i looked up from the book and..."
so much for dreaming.
what about the dreamer?

Won't even answer to
on the spot,hidden inside becoming,
stranger going along,
blind but fixed between wings that see.

this poem is called evening hieroglyph and its written by li-young lee and its from a book called behind my eyes and i hope that you like it.

birds keep changing places in the empty tree
like decimals or numerals reconfiguring

some word, which,spoken,might sound the key
thats rights the tumblers in the iron lock
that keeps the gate dividing me from me.

Late January. The birds face all
one direction and flit
from branch to branch.

They raise no voice
against or for oncoming dark, no answer
to question asked by one
whose entire being seems a question

posed to himself,one no longer new
on earth,unknowing, and yet,
still not the next thing.

here's a cute poem called Just Who Will You Be? and it's from the book called just who will you be by maria shrivier and the by-line that was kawaii is big question little book answer within
congratulations!
the day has come
the tests are over
the furture's begun
it's a little bit scary
exciting,too
to go out in the world
and find out...who is you!
and that's what will happen
now that high school is done
you'll be figuring out
your place in the sun
so here's what i'm asking
and you ask it, too
Just who will you be?
that's the question for you
when you look in the mirror
it's an image you see
but down deep inside
just who will you be?
will you folow the crowd
of follow your gut?
will you be a leader
or anything but?
when you go to college
you'll want to belong
that doesn't mean doing
what you know is wrong
be honest and ethical
when temptation calls
don't take the shortcut
that leads to a fall
who wants to belong
to a group that seems ''rad''
but does things that make you
feel lonely and bad
you have a mind and you know how to think
you don't have to do something
that really does stink
tell yourself," i don't need it!
no matter to me!
that isn't the me
that i want to be!"
and while you figure out
just what you to do
you'll be figuring out
who the "who" is in you
now,something you'll learn
as you go on in school
is that you can be kind
at the same time you're cool
it's cool to be nice
i once heard bill gates say:
"be nice to a nerd,
he'll be your boss someday!"
and you will attract all the
best friends on earth
by being a trustworthy
person of worth
as you go down the road
as you see what you see
you'll keep right learning
just who you will be
everyone's life
is an uncharted course
so go out and live it
without reget or remorse
take time to be quiet
hear what your own voice is
learn who you are
by making good choices
you can get the cool clothes
and the jewelry and car
but that doesn't measure
the person that you are
not the things you collect,
though all of it's nice
if you worship belongings
you'll pay a big price
the price that you'll pay
is expensive,you'll see
it's becoming the person
you won't want to be
buried under belongings,
and choking on "stuff"
someone's so unhappy
'cause there's never enough
and if you measure your worth
by the clothes you have on
what happens when all of your
booty is gone?
so here is my question
and you ask it,too
just who will you be?
it's a biggie for you
now don't think i'm saying
you won't make mistakes
that's just part of living
that growing up takes
sometimes you'll feel lonely
sometimes you'll feel lost
if you want to achieve
sometimes that's the cost
as you go down one road
and don't like what you find
remember it's ok
to just change your mind
and don't be so fearful
you're too scared to fail
i've has my share of failures
and lived to tell the tale
if you don't stick your neck out
you'll be safe,it's true
but you also won't find out
who is the real you
doing only what's easy
won't break you a sweat
but you also won't learn
lessons you need to get
the lessons will teach you
what you need to know
to find out who you'll be
and which way you'll go
and when it comes time
to pick your carrer
start at the bottom
and work up with no fear
it's the way that i did it
it's the best way to learn
be humble and patient
a big salary you'll earn
who you work for and with
is important,it's true
can be even more crucial
than what you actually do
so try to find someone
who'll serve as your mentor
i had such a person
i brlieve that god sent her
this is the person
who'll guide you and teach you
so keep your ears open
and let mentors reach you
and form my experience
here's a piece of advice:
i thought workaholism
was ideal and nice!
as you do your career
don't do what i did
by working too much
and not being a kid
be playful and joyous
and take time to breathe
'cause it isn't your job
that defines who you'll be
so here's that same question
coming right back at you
just who will you be?
that's the question for you
but always remember
that who you will be
will be up to you
not your mom,dad-----or me
and speaking of parents:
they've done so much work
to get you to here
so don't be a jerk!
treat them with kindness
and have some compassion
even if they don't like
your teenager fashion!
talk to them ,e-mail them
no whining allowed
let them know how you're doing
let them be proud!
once again i am asking
and you ask it,too
just who will you be?
the main question for you
when you answer the question
don't think just of fame
think of your precious legacy
think of your name!
when you ask,"who am i
and who will i be
and just excatly how long
will it take to be me?"
i say"please take your time
don't be in a rush
take time to consider
and ponder and such"
will you be a person
who's running on greed?
or will you be the one giving
to people in need?
will you just collect awards
to put on your shelves?
or will you help people
who can't help themselves?
'cause when i feel lousy
or lost or i'm nervous
i feel better about me
when i am of service
think of using your brains
and your talent and youth
to solve difficult problems
to find out the truth
to make this crazy world
a far better place
to make some improvements
for our human race
think of raising great children
or creating great art
helping out in communities
sharing your heart
and if you are so lucky
that the things that you do
attract you some fame?
well,"god bless"to you!
but don't get confused
and be clear-headed,too
you aren't your fame
and your fame isn't you!
fame's just a perception
an image,a role
but it isn't the truth
and it's isn't your soul
under the spotlight
the shine fades real fast
and the fun of the fame
never really does last
there are folkd who are famous
but their lives are a mess
because just being famous
doesn't bring happy-ness
take away all the sparkle
the glitter and such
and who is the person
you admired so such
you yourself will discover
that you are much more
than your job or your group
or the babe you fought for
so it's not on the outside,
the things you can see--
it's the stuff on the inside
that shows who you'll be
now a word to young women:
please don't lose yourself
you don't need anyone
to be someone yourself
you can be girly and strong
have careers and go far
and when you get married
not lose who you are
and you young men in the room?
know this from the start
you can be manly and macho
and still have a warm heart
now what about love
and what about sex?
i leave that for the end
for the biggest effects
my advice to you hear
don't go off the deep end
don't rush to get married
when you do,pick a friend!
'cause when all of the steam
cools off,and it will,
you'll have someone to laugh with
and you'll love them still
so i asked it before
and here's one more time
just who will you be
when you get to prime time?
in the end all that matters
is not in the bank
not your money or home
or gas in your tank
it not just about
your husband or wife
it's what's in your heart
how you live your own life
how much joy do you give?
how much love,how much laughter?
all the people that you helped
and felt so good after
it's the last time i'll ask it
on this big day for you:
just who will you be?
that the question for you
if you follow your heart...
and just listen to me
you'll turn into the you...
you are destined to be!

enjoy
