Subject Mary Oliver poem


I was thinking of this poem yesterday. 


I Ask Percy How I Should Live My Life
Mary Oliver

Love, love, love, says Percy.
And hurry as fast as you can
along the shining beach, or the rubble, or the dust.

Then, go to sleep.
Give up your body heat, your beating heart.
Then, trust.


Melancholy no doubt. Hope this isn't too morbid. But I just love it.

Love,  love, love,

Kyra
