Wild Geese - Mary Oliver
announcing your place
the world offers itself
are heading
the mountains and
are moving across
Meanwhile the
soft animal of your body
for a hundred miles
You do not
have to be good
through the desert repenting
love what it loves
world goes on
the landscapes
the rivers
home again
to your imagination
in the family of things
calls to you like the wild geese
harsh and exciting-ov
er and over
Whoever you are
no matter how lonely
Meanwhile the wild geese
high in the clean blue air
over the prairies
and the deep trees
Meanwhile the sun and
the clear pebbles of the rain
Tell me about despair - yours
and I will tell you mine
You only have
to let the
You do not have
to walk on your knees
