Wild geese by Mary Oliver (from Wild geese: selected poems by Mary Oliver)
There is something about this poem that I find incredibly comforting. It always makes me cry, but in a good way!
Some people may find it clichéd, but I do find that if I feel down and need an emotional pick me up, looking about me at the natural world really helps me. I think that’s what this poem reminds me of. There’s a real sense that the world seems to know exactly what it’s doing, and will continue on steadily and securely, and that I have a place in it, regardless of what’s going on in my own life.
