This book was part of my effort to understand poetry better. I have not gotten far after all of these years.

Do you also hurry, half-dressed and barefoot, into the garden,
and softly,
and exclaiming of their dearness,
fill your arms with the white and pink flowers,
with their honeyed heaviness, their lush trembling,
their eagerness
to be wild and perfect for a moment, before they are
nothing, forever?
—from Peonies by Mary Oliver

Rest in peace, Mary Oliver.
This will always be one of my favorite poems.

"Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful

than the way the sun,
every evening
#relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon"
