POETRY FRIDAY


I'm looking forward to some quiet time this summer…

THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

Read the rest of the poem here.

Toby Speed is hosting Poetry Friday at The Writer's Armchair.
