Lost
Stand still.
The trees ahead and the bushes beside you Are not lost.
Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,

Out in the bayou woods among the lightnin' bugs she dwells.
Always got a pot 'a cookin' and, ohh, the way it smells.
She lives alone stirrin' up a witches brew.
Don't know what's in it but some say it's pure voodoo.
I got a stick and then
Knocked those toadstools into bits.
And my father said, 'Well! well!
Now you've spoiled your only chance
It will never do to tell!
To behold the fairies dance,
And those grinning goblins, too.
Wonder what got into you!'

#FairyTaleTuesday
I have a fairy by my side
Which says I must not sleep,
When once in pain I loudly cried
It said "You must not weep"
If, full of mirth, I smile and grin,
It says "You must not laugh"

Sometimes she heard night-sounds she didn’t know […], but whenever she stumbled, it was the land who caught her. Until at last, […]the heart-pain seeped away like water into sand.[…]Kya laid her hand upon the breathing, wet earth, and the marsh became her mother.

#OfDarkandMacabre
Drowning is not so pitiful
As the attempt to rise
Three times, 'tis said, a sinking man
Comes up to face the skies,
And then declines forever
To that abhorred abode,
Where hope and he part company-

Crossing the Swamp
by Mary Oliver
Here is the endless
wet thick
cosmos, the center
of everything—the nugget
of dense sap, branching
vines, the dark burred
faintly belching
bogs.
