The windmill, long out of use, screeches
and twists in the wind.
Spring day, too loud for talk,
when bones tire of their flesh
and want something better.
~ Jim Harrison, from Return
... when you step out
into the night, how the night sky
falls into your hair—
when I think of how you stand
as if nothing in your hands
and I have nothing to offer you now
save my own wild emptiness—
~ Cecilia Woloch, from Grace

There is so much my eyes have seen,
that my hands have done, and yet
I know almost nothing. How many losses
will it take for something like wisdom to set in?
~ Brian Turner, from Vigil
Such joy, still.

The greening time... lay down your arms and your worries, a moment or three... deep breath... then move forward as you are able.
