Additional quotes by Naomi Replansky

I was, I did, but I will let it be./Tonight I must hold dear/Whatever brought me here.

My words may turn into stones/as easily as a man/turned one day into silence.

Born of a war, I was always aching and straining/To nuzzle myself into peace./Peace when it came was hunted and haunted, and stayed/Just for a moment.
