Mary Oliver, always a balm, an elixir, an antidote, this especially.

Always incredible. Every time I read a Mary Oliver poem it's like the first time - there's always something new to see, to feel. Beautiful - that last stanza is *chef's kiss*. ✨

Well done! 👏 I posted a few of mine from my youth. Based on readership count, I determined that I did not have the talent for it.https://jrichardson.substack.com/p/poetic-ramblings

Thank you for a lovely poem about spring. It is still snowing here and the grass is not yet visible. The indoor plants are blooming and growing, so I know spring is in the air. I can walk across the several feet of snow, that is what March brings to me. Soon, it will be the glorious smell of mud and I look forward to that.
