"To Tempt Happiness" - for Mary Oliver

we were all “carried inward” to know the ponds and shallow stands of water along the flexing pointing arm of the cape

she gave us a way to look and accept the joy of simple truths in the landscape around us

the crescendo at last of turning the line becomes a quiet realization that there are so many ways of seeing

knowing it as a “taste before it’s anything else”
