Emily Dickinson - Part I: Life; VI

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

A Girl by Ezra Pound

The tree has entered my hands,
The sap has ascended my arms,
The tree has grown in my breast-
Downward,
The branches grow out of me, like arms.

Tree you are,
Moss you are,
You are violets with wind above them.
A child - so high - you are,
And all this is folly to the world.

Leave Me Not by Allistar Solomon

Leave me not here so all alone
The darkness is closing in.
There must be some way that I can atone
For this life Ive lived in sin.
I know I've lied and cast that stone
Which brought good men to ruin.
Waited until their hope was gone
To strike them from within.
Please show me mercy as I lie prone
Regretting where I've been.
Save me before the blackness has grown
Too strong for me to win.
