Quotes and Sayings about Poems

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king.

J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Appearance

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousands winds that blow,

I am the sunnlight in ripened grain,

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I do not die.

Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared
