Aimless Love - Billy Collins
Pages 38-87

“… I am the sound of rain on the roof.

I also happen to be the shooting star,
the evening paper blowing down an alley,
and the basket of chestnuts on the kitchen table.

I am also the moon in the trees
and the blind woman's tea cup.
But don't worry, I am not the bread and the knife.
You are still the bread and the knife.
You will always be the bread and the knife,
not to mention the crystal goblet and—somehow—the wine.” 
― Billy Collins, Aimless Love: New and Selected Poems

This Poem has to be my favorite so far in this book, something about it makes me happy just reading over it. I swear Billy Collins makes me want to become a poet of my own kind, I love the way his word choice all flows together, not to mention what he notices, and describes things makes me feel like I am there with him. The way he finds beauty in everything, and anywhere he goes, there always seems to something or someone to write about. 

I admire this poem, just the last three lines really seem to get to me, making me think about people I love and that's how I think I should feel reading poetry, it is nice to be reminded of those good people and good memories. 

So far I am really enjoying this book, I tend to try and sneak a few reads at work when we are slow, i'll be so sad when this book is over, but all the more reason to find another book to fall in love with and maybe another poet.
