I'm like the weather, never really can predict when this rain cloud's gonna burst; when it's the high or it's the low, when you might need a light jacket. sometimes i'm the slush that sticks to the bottom of your work pants, but i can easily be the melting snowflakes clinging to your long lashes. i know that some people like: sunny and seventy-five, sunny and seventy-five, sunny and seventy-five, but you take me as i am and never forget to pack an umbrella.

I'm Like The Weather, Never Really Can

More From Naomi Shihab Nye

Seventy-five years. that's how much time you get if you're lucky. seventy-five years. seventy-five winters, seventy-five springtimes, seventy-five summers, and seventy-five autumns. when you look at it like that, it's not a lot of time, is it? don't waste them. get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now.
Summer Autumn Winter
And what does the rain say at night in a small town, what does the rain have to say? who walks beneath dripping melancholy branches listening to the rain? who is there in the rain’s million-needled blurring splash, listening to the grave music of the rain at night, september rain, september rain, so dark and soft? who is there listening to steady level roaring rain all around, brooding and listening and waiting, in the rain-washed, rain-twinkled dark of night?
Rain Dark Night
If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper. without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. the cloud is essential for the paper to exist. if the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. so we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are.

People (a group that in my opinion has always attracted an undue amount of attention) have often been likened to snowflakes. this analogy is meant to suggest that each is unique - no two alike. this is quite patently not the case. people, even at the current rate of inflation - in fact, people especially at the current rate of inflation - are quite simply a dime a dozen. and, i hasten to add, their only similarity to snowflakes resides in their invariably and lamentable tendency to turn, after a few warm days, to slush.
Unique Two People
In the spring rain, the pond and the river become one. into every life some rain must fall. usually when your car windows are down. it raineth on the just and the unjust alike, but the unjust stealeth the just's umbrella let the rain kiss you. let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. let the rain sing you a lullaby.
Spring Rain Fall
Let the rain kiss you. let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. let the rain sing you a lullaby. the rain makes still pools on the sidewalk. the rain makes running pools in the gutter. the rain plays a little sellp-song on our roof at night- and i love the rain.

Similar Quotes
I believe the visa waiver program, it essentially is the soft underbelly of the visa system. now we have 35 countries in it. we have 16 million people coming in. i believe the overstays still run about 40 percent of the undocumented population. in other words, there's 40 percent that you really don't know where it came from is what i'm trying to say. and i've always suspected people come in on a visitor's visa and they just decide to stay, and that's a large part of the undocumented population.
Running Country Believe
Rooting in work is crucial to any accomplishment. rooting in mere enthusiasm will in the long run force illusory measures to keep the fires of empty enthusiasm going. and this makes politics and politicians.
Running Fire Long
Now therefore, while the youthful hue sits on thy skin like morning dew, and while thy willing soul transpires at every pore with instant fires now let us sport us while we may, and now, like amorous birds of prey, rather at once our time devour than languish in his slow-chapped power. let us roll our strength and all our sweetness up into one ball and tear our pleasures with rough strife through the iron gates of life: thus, while we cannot make our sun stand still, yet we will make him run.

Usually i don't find gore or slasher films scary. what works for me is the slower build where you are tightening the noose around the situation until you are running out of options and then really have no idea what to do.
