Existential Poetry Quotes

“In vain I try to jump into the photo
To create again a time so simple
That a piece of paper might encapsulate it
From the erosive winds and waves of time
Which bring even the greatest of loves to a grave of dust.”

“This piece of inked paper stands a colossus
A monument to a string of moments once dear;
The only surviving testament to a time
When these background bridges remained unburned,
Before they became so much unswept rubble.”
― Justin Wetch, Bending The Universe

“Unseen in their flight,
wild geese faintly call,
passing high overhead,
in the depths of night.
Instinctive travelers,
on invisible highways.
I envy their lack of lostness.”
― John Mark Green, Taste the Wild Wonder: Poems
