What we have lived Remains indecipherable. & yet we remain.… - Amanda Gorman

" "
What we have lived
Remains indecipherable.
& yet we remain.
& still, we write.
& so, we write.
Watch us move above the fog
Like a promontory at dusk.
Shall this leave us biter?
Or better?

Additional quotes by Amanda Gorman

We became paid professionals of pain,
Specialists in suffering,
Aces of the ache,
Masters of the moan.

As kids we sat in grass, Fished our hands into the dirt. We felt that damp brown Universe writhe, alert & alive, Earth cupped in the boat of our palms.

We will not march back to what was,
But move to what shall be:
A country that is bruised but whole,
Benevolent but bold,
Fierce and free.

What we have lived Remains indecipherable. & yet we remain. & still, we write. & so, we write. Watch us move above the fog Like a promontory at dusk.… - Amanda Gorman
