To Autumn by John Keats Pt. I "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,  Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;  Conspiring with him how to load and bless  With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;  To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,  And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;  To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells  With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,  And still more, later flowers for the bees,  Until they think warm days will never cease,  For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells." #johnkeats #poetry #autumn #poem #lake #pond #reflection #fall #seasons #keats #forest #woods #romanticpoetry #nature #trees #vehemenceandemergence #voiceofthebard

and half of learning to play is learning what not to play and she's learning the spaces she leaves have their own things to say and she's trying to sing just enough so that the air around her moves and make music like mercy that gives what it is and has nothing to prove she crawls out on a limb and begins to build her home and it's enough just to look around and to know that she's not alone up up up up up up up points the spire of the steeple but god's work isn't done by god it's done by people Ani DiFranco #lyrics #inspiration #song #anidifranco. #singer #quotes #music #notalone #home #building #dreaming #people #inspire #dream #believe #sing #lyric #wisdom #voiceofthebard #lessons #vehemenceandemergence
