The Peace of Wild Things
“I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”

The Thought of Something Else:
“– a place where thought
can take its shape
as quietly in the mind
as water in a pitcher,
or a man can be
safely without thought
– see the day begin
and lean back,
a simple wakefulness filling
perfectly
the spaces among the leaves.”
