Title A name given to the resource New Day's Lyric by Amanda Gorman Description An account of the resource New Day's Lyric May this be the day We come together. Mourning, we come to mend, Withered, we come to weather, Torn, we come to tend, Battered, we come to better. Tethered by this year of yearning, We are learning That though we weren't ready for this, We have been readied by it. We steadily vow that no matter How we are weighed down, We must always pave a way forward. ‍ This hope is our door, our portal. Even if we never get back to normal, Someday we can venture beyond it, To leave the known and take the first steps. So let us not return to what was normal, But reach toward what is next. ‍ What was cursed, we will cure. What was plagued, we will prove pure. Where we tend to argue, we will try to agree, Those fortunes we forswore, now the future we foresee, Where we weren't aware, we're now awake; Those moments we missed Are now these moments we make, The moments we meet, And our hearts, once all together beaten, Now all together beat. ‍ Come, look up with kindness yet, For even solace can be sourced from sorrow. We remember, not just for the sake of yesterday, But to take on tomorrow. ‍ We heed this old spirit, In a new day's lyric, In our hearts, we hear it: For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne. Be bold, sang Time this year, Be bold, sang Time, For when you honor yesterday, Tomorrow ye will find. Know what we've fought Need not be forgotten nor for none. It defines us, binds us as one, Come over, join this day just begun. For wherever we come together, We will forever overcome. ‍ by Amanda Gorman Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A new day to look forward Description An account of the resource Awaken from the quiet fortress of night, While we slept, the world took shape. A blank page awaits, a sun-dappled realm, To write this day with hope's grace. Yesterday's doubts and burdens, Vanish like footprints in the rain. No need to carry stale burdens, This fresh day is too precious, too vast. Hear the birds sing, a joyful choir of wings, Chanting the new day's psalms, their voices swelling. Each moment is an opportunity for creation and encounter, Feel your heart beating boldly. The morning light outside your window is a gentle reminder, awakening your courage to dare. Leave familiar territory behind, take that first step to discover the surprises hidden within this fresh beginning. So rise and shine, cast off the slumber of the past, a new adventure is swiftly approaching. The path ahead is yours alone to discover, With each fresh dawn, cast off the dust of yesterday.

Description An account of the resource Two hearts, two pairs of eyes lost in adoration. Two hearts resonate sweetly like drumbeats, Love's rhythm never falters. Heaven-made perfect companions, Two souls entwined for eternity. Two pairs of eyes reflect the shifting dawn light, Burning fervor blooms within. In the depths of their eyes lies an untold universe, Sacred legends, ancient love. Two souls soar on boundless breezes, Finding solace in moments of stillness. The world melts into a distant murmur, For in this ecstasy, new life has sprouted. No words needed, not a sound uttered, Fingers intertwined, trust bound together. A silent symphony, a gentle grace, All captured in the lover's face, exquisite. Bodies anchored beneath the earth, Souls ascending in blissful radiance. Within this pure and sincere union, Two hearts and eyes are reborn anew.

Title A name given to the resource AI and I - Igniting the Heart Description An account of the resource My soul leaps in the gloomy air Before the first flash of lightning Feeling the stillness, filled with bright restorative power That is the sky's secret promise to what passion loves The air thick with ozone, crisp and sharp The approaching flash tears through violet gloom No cricket's song, no wind through branches Like the whisper of a harp, awaiting the roar. As clouds hang like a deep black curtain across the sky, A pure white crack tears through the jagged edge— The heavens' guarded secret, Revealed and vanished in an unexpected blaze of light. The heart, a sturdy chamber in the storm, receives this wild electrical framework. The sudden burst of energy, fierce yet warm, ignites a flame within, calling out a name.

Title A name given to the resource Like a Strong Tree Description An account of the resource Claude McKay 1889 – 1948 Like a strong tree that in the virgin earth Sends far its roots through rock and loam and clay, And proudly thrives in rain or time of dearth, When the dry waves scare rainy sprites away; Like a strong tree that reaches down, deep, deep, For sunken water, fluid underground, Where the great-ringed unsightly blind worms creep, And queer things of the nether world abound: So would I live in rich imperial growth, Touching the surface and the depth of things, Instinctively responsive unto both, Tasting the sweets of being and the stings, Sensing the subtle spell of changing forms, Like a strong tree against a thousand storms.

Title A name given to the resource Eyes like the rain, cleansing and transformative Description An account of the resource Eyes like the rain, cleansing and transformative The storm arrives, a sudden silver shield, To soften the harsh and certain sun, And in the blur, the world is all revealed, As every frantic, hurried line is run. A window, once a frame for careful sight, Is now a canvas where the raindrops stream, And I watch your face in this suspended light, Reflected in a shifting, watery dream. My sight is washed of what I thought I knew, The curated smile, the posture held for show. The rain remakes your image, fresh and new, In the soft-edged, patient, rhythmic flow. Your eyes, in this dissolving, muted place, Hold not the world, but only me, and deep As a quiet pond, they mirror a gentle grace, And in that gaze, my waiting love I reap. For love's achievement wasn't in the chase, Or in the perfect light where all is clear, But in the shadowed, honest, liquid space, Where only what is real is held so dear. So let the storm, your true self, bring to view; In the falling rain, my love for you is true. ~LArry Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lawrence Catania Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource The steam unfurls, a lazy, white-gray ghost, carrying the scent of what is held most— the quiet hour, the table set for two, the empty space that now is filled by you. A mug, a porcelain planet, warm in hand, holds secrets brewed in some forgotten land. But your story is the richness in the pot, a memory of a time and a forgotten spot. The clink of spoon, a bell to start the tale, of journeys taken, and a sunlit trail. Your words pour out, the color of the brew, a bitter truth, a flavor, sharp and new. The face is watched, the shifting of the light, as you recount a distant, vivid night. The sugar stirred, a sweeter, softer turn, on lessons learned and bridges that have burned. The cup grows cool, the final chapters told, a narrative more precious than fine gold. And all that's left is stillness, in the air, and the quiet comfort of a story shared.

Title A name given to the resource A story to a cup Description An account of the resource A story to a cup Pouring your words like steaming grounds, a dark and fragrant mystery. Each sentence, like the bitter, sweet first sip, tells a story no one but you and I will know. I hold the porcelain bowl, its warmth a comfort, as you unfold the tapestry of years. The clink of spoons, a gentle punctuation to all the things you held inside with fear. The cup becomes a vessel for your journey, a small and solid island in the day. With every drop, the heavy past is lifted, your worries melting into swirls of gray. And I, the quiet witness to your truth, take in the fragrance of what you have lived. The fragile courage in your whispered youth, a precious gift you have so freely gived. Let silence settle on the empty cup, a sacred quiet where your soul is seen. And we'll be richer, having filled it up, with simple kindness and what lies between.

Title A name given to the resource For the Moment When tempests rise and shadows stretch and bend, And lesser lights like lanterns flicker and end, The star of commitment holds its single place, A point of grace within the void of space. It is the unseen pull, the silent thread, That links the future to the promises said. Not a fierce fire, but an endless, quiet glow, That helps the lonely, weary soul to know. Description An account of the resource The text itself is a powerful metaphor for the strength of commitment and inner resilience in the face of adversity. "When tempests rise and shadows stretch and bend, / And lesser lights like lanterns flicker and end": These lines evoke a sense of external chaos and the failure of weaker, more temporary sources of comfort or guidance. "The star of commitment holds its single place, / A point of grace within the void of space": The star represents a stable, unwavering anchor—the constancy of one's commitment. It is an internal point of focus that provides a sense of grace and purpose when all else feels empty or lost. "It is the unseen pull, the silent thread, / That links the future to the promises said": This speaks to the invisible, but powerful, connection between the promises one makes and the future one is building. It is the quiet force that maintains integrity over time. "Not a fierce fire, but an endless, quiet glow, / That helps the lonely, weary soul to know": The final lines contrast commitment with a dramatic, short-lived passion. Instead, it is a consistent, gentle presence that provides comfort and guidance to those who are tired and alone, a light that is always there.

Title A name given to the resource Missing You by John Seabrook Description An account of the resource My heart aches within from missing you, My lips long for the feel of kissing you, Right now all I need is to gently touch your skin, To look into your eyes and see deep within, Just one warm embrace, Just to look upon your face, Just one little touch, From the one I love so much, If I could gaze upon your smile, For just a little while, To know that you miss me too, As I'm thinking of you, To hear the sound of you breathe, Knowing you'll never leave, To see you walk up to me, Then embrace you tenderly, To just be with the one who's sent my heart reeling, And brought about this downpour of emotion and feeling, I sit here alone in my office tonight, And pray that somehow this all turns out right, I've never been one to do more taking than giving, I'm not well off but I work hard for a living, I've told you many thoughts that weren't borrowed or bought, And in lifetime, who would have thought, That I have found someone who was just meant for me, I can't explain the magic or why this should be, But there is one thing that I know for certain, That this just ain't over till one of us draws the final curtain, For I've seen an angel and I want you to know, If it's my choice to make, I'll never let you go, Don't know what life holds, maybe there's no reason or rhyme, To think you may be mine in a matter of time, And though I cannot touch you and we are now apart, My Love, you do dwell, so deep within my heart.

It yields to the fingers, a cool, gentle glide, As secrets untold within its depths hide. No solid wall, no barrier stands, Just a yielding embrace, in our outstretched hands. It ripples and flows, a ceaseless design, Responding to touch, with a dance so divine. Like a lover's soft whisper, or a child's gentle hand, The water receives, understanding its role in the land. It carries the stories of mountains it knew, And reflects the vast sky, in its shimmering hue. We cup it and hold it, a moment so brief, Then release it again, finding sweet relief. For in letting it go, we learn to embrace, The fleeting, yet profound, beauty of its space. ~LArry Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Merwin, penned a heartfelt poem titled "To My Daughter." In this piece, Merwin expresses his deep affection for his daughter, embracing the role of a loving and supportive father. He emphasizes the strength and resilience he sees in his daughter, urging her to navigate life's challenges with determination and grace. Description An account of the resource "To My Daughter" You will be walking some night in the comfortable dark of your yard and suddenly a great light will shine round about you, and behind you will be a wall you never saw before. It will be clear to you suddenly that you were about to escape, and that you are guilty: you misread the complex instructions, you are not a member, you lost your card or never had one. And you will know that they have been there all along, their eyes on your letters and books, their hands in your pockets, their ears wired to your bed. Though you have done nothing shameful, they will want you to be ashamed. They will want you to kneel and weep and say you should have been like them. And once you say you are ashamed, reading the page they hold out to you, then such light as you have made in your history will leave you. They will no longer need to pursue you. You will pursue them, begging forgiveness. They will not forgive you. There is no power against them. It is only candor that is aloof from them, only an inward clarity, unashamed, that they cannot reach. Be ready. When their light has picked you out and their questions are asked, say to them: "I am not ashamed." A sure horizon will come around you. The heron will begin his evening flight from the hilltop.

Title A name given to the resource How Beautiful is the Rain ~by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)~ Description An account of the resource How Beautiful is the Rain ~by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)~ How beautiful is the rain! After the dust and heat, In the broad and fiery street, In the narrow lane, How beautiful is the rain! How it clatters along the roofs, Like the tramp of hoofs How it gushes and struggles out From the throat of the overflowing spout! Across the window-pane It pours and pours; And swift and wide, With a muddy tide, Like a river down the gutter roars The rain, the welcome rain! The sick man from his chamber looks At the twisted brooks; He can feel the cool Breath of each little pool; His fevered brain Grows calm again, And he breathes a blessing on the rain. From the neighboring school Come the boys, With more than their wonted noise And commotion; And down the wet streets Sail their mimic fleets, Till the treacherous pool Ingulfs them in its whirling And turbulent ocean. In the country, on every side, Where far and wide, Like a leopard's tawny and spotted hide, Stretches the plain, To the dry grass and the drier grain How welcome is the rain! In the furrowed land The toilsome and patient oxen stand; Lifting the yoke encumbered head, With their dilated nostrils spread, They silently inhale The clover-scented gale, And the vapors that arise From the well-watered and smoking soil. For this rest in the furrow after toil Their large and lustrous eyes Seem to thank the Lord, More than man's spoken word. Near at hand, From under the sheltering trees, The farmer sees His pastures, and his fields of grain, As they bend their tops To the numberless beating drops Of the incessant rain. He counts it as no sin That he sees therein Only his own thrift and gain. These, and far more than these, The Poet sees! He can behold Aquarius old Walking the fenceless fields of air; And from each ample fold Of the clouds about him rolled Scattering everywhere The showery rain, As the farmer scatters his grain. He can behold Things manifold That have not yet been wholly told,-- Have not been wholly sung nor said. For his thought, that never stops, Follows the water-drops Down to the graves of the dead, Down through chasms and gulfs profound, To the dreary fountain-head Of lakes and rivers under ground; And sees them, when the rain is done, On the bridge of colors seven Climbing up once more to heaven, Opposite the setting sun. Thus the Seer, With vision clear, Sees forms appear and disappear, In the perpetual round of strange, Mysterious change From birth to death, from death to birth, From earth to heaven, from heaven to earth; Till glimpses more sublime Of things, unseen before, Unto his wondering eyes reveal The Universe, as an immeasurable wheel Turning forevermore In the rapid and rushing river of Time Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="https://allpoetry.com/poem/15448188-How-Beautiful-is-the-Rain---by-Henry-Wadsworth-Longfellow--1807-1-by-Nomadic-One" target="_blank" title="How Beautiful is the Rain ~by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)~" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://allpoetry.com/poem/15448188-How-Beautiful-is-the-Rain---by-Henry-Wadsworth-Longfellow--1807-1-by-Nomadic-One</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource For my mom on mothers day. <3 Description An account of the resource Embrace of the Mother Tree In whispers green, her branches weave, A tapestry of life, where dreams believe. Nurturing roots in earth’s embrace, Guarding tender hearts, our sacred space. Through tempest bold, her leaves will sway, A sheltering haven as skies turn gray. With arms outstretched, her shade will fall, A cozy refuge for one and all. In quiet grace, she beckons near, A testament of love, to calm all fear. In every season, her strength remains, Mother Tree, through joys and pains.
