The most profound truths often reside in the simplest words, for "your words mean to me, the most we mean to be." This guiding principle in our work finds a parallel in the lyrical precision of Sara Teasdale and our own quiet verse. We are not comparing an epic to an aphorism, but rather two distinct, equally potent approaches to a single, essential truth: the subjective nature of time.
Consider the gentle, poignant closing of Sara Teasdale's "There Will Come Soft Rains":
“And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.”
Teasdale's lines are built on a classical, romantic sensibility. They are musical, bittersweet, and paint a visual image of a world that continues on, oblivious to human absence. Her worldview is one of quiet acceptance, a subtle, beautiful melancholy that finds comfort in the natural order. This is a classic example of philosophical poems about life and meaning delivered through soft-spoken, lyric poetry.
In conversation with this, we offer our own piece of affirmational poetry:
two days from now, tomorrow will just be the day after today
This single line is a masterclass in a different kind of poetry—one of stoic, undeniable logic. Where Teasdale’s stanza uses rhyme and rhythm to evoke an emotional truth, this phrase provides a powerful, grounding observation. Its power lies not in its complexity but in its unyielding, circular certainty. It is a philosophical greeting postcard of poetry that cuts through the anxiety of the future to ground us in a constant, unfolding present. This is a prime example of poems that comfort and provoke thought.
Our "two days from now" poetry postcards are a tangible expression of this philosophy. The carefully chosen words are beautifully letter-pressed on thick, high-quality cardstock, inviting the recipient to hold not just a card, but a profound piece of truth. It is designed to be a durable keepsake, a constant, comforting reminder of this simple, profound idea.
