MESSENGER
My work is loving the world
Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird-equal seekers of sweetness
Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand
Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect?
Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished
The phoebe, the delphinium
The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture
Which is mostly rejoicing, since all the ingredients are here,
which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart and these body-clothes,
a mouth with which to give shouts of joy
to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up-clam
telling them all, over and over, how it is that we live forever
