Tuesday Treat

Excerpt from Walking to Oak-Head Pond, and Thinking of the Ponds I Will Visit in the Next Days and Weeks  by Mary Oliver

"...I'm wading along
in the sunlight-
and I'm sure I can see the fields and the ponds shining
days ahead-

I can see the light spilling
like a shower of meteors
into next week's trees,
and I plan to be there soon-

and, so far, I am
just that lucky,
my legs splashing
over the edge of darkness,
my heart on fire."
