Poem

I love Tyler Knott Gregson’s simplicity, don’t you? If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out his work here.

She was beautiful

Move pen move, write me a mountain

When I first came across the song, Move Pen Move, a calibration with singer-songer writer, Dan Mangan and spoken word poet, Shane Koyczan, I listened to the song on repeat for one week (true story) until my friend yelled at me, “Stephanie, turn that $#*%@ song off!”

It’s true. I needed an intervention.

over the years it seems that aging’s just not for me. though i ache just below the knees and it flows to my heart and all through the hearts i need. it’s not how it ought to be. you’re falling away from me. and it’s just not right. falling away from me. it’s not right. but you make such beautiful words.

now it’s trying. oh, how it’s tragic.

but you make such beautiful words.

This is not a goddamned poem

I fell in love with honesty

To This Day, Shane Koyczan

Shane Koyczan is one of my favourite spoken word poets. His recent poem/video on bullying, “To This Day” is both inspiring and beautiful.

Please share this video - I don’t think there is anything worst than being bullied.

I’m kinda obsessed with Tyler Knott Gregson‘s work at the moment. If you have yet to discover him, get on it because you’re truly missing out!

Poetry: when it’s over

“When it’s over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”
― Mary Oliver
