Poetry of the Week
Mysteries, Four of the Simple Ones
And when the blue heron, breaking his long breast feathers,
sees one feather fall, does he know I will find it?
Will he see me holding it in my hand?as he opens his wings
softly and without a sound—
as he rises and floats over the water?Read the whole poem by Mary Oliver, here.
