Mary Oliver Quotes

And There You Are
On The Shore,
fitful And Thoughtful, Trying
To Attach Them To An Idea
Some News Of Your Own Life.
But The Lilies
are Slippery And Wild - They Are
Devoid Of Meaning, They Are
Simply Doing,
From The Deepest
spurs Of Their Being,
What They Are Impelled To Do
Every Summer.
And So, Dear Sorrow, Are You.
