Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

#poetrymatters

This is a lovely poem that I first read when posted by some awesome Litsy friends after the poet died a while back.

But today I found out there is a recording of this poem out there narrated by Tom Hiddleston, whose narration tends to curl my toes in the best possible way. 😍

So anyway, beautiful poem, beautifully delivered:

Sleeping in the Forest by Mary Oliver

Happy Earth Day everyone! ❤️🌍💚🌳

Rest in peace, Mary Oliver ???

"Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?"

RIP, Mary Oliver 😿

Rest in peace, Mary Oliver.

“Instructions for living a life.
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.” ― #MaryOliver
#RIP, Mary. We thank you. We miss you. We will try always to pay attention.

Rest In Peace, Mary Oliver. Thank you for being there when I needed you. #poetry #wisdom #solace #inspiration #rip

My modest Mary Oliver collection.
When Freddie Mercury died, my friend Marc said, "You wouldn't understand: all your heroes died years ago!" He was upset, so I didn't clout him with whatever book was inevitably in my hands at the time. He was wrong, though. ?

😭💔

RIP Mary Oliver! Thank you for the beautiful words. Few people I have never met have impacted me as much as you have! 💔😭

"I feel my boots
trying to leave the ground,
I feel my heart
pumping hard. I want

to think again of dangerous and noble things.
I want to be light and frolicsome.
I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing,
as though I had wings."

One of my all-time favourite poems by Mary Oliver. Some of these lines are the only things I've ever considered getting a tattoo of. #SeasonsReadings2016 #Poetry

A colleague had decided to have her retirement party the day after the election, believing we would be celebrating the country's first woman president. She and most of us were heartsick, and she shared this poem and I for one felt a little better. Beautiful! #poetry
