@tdc #tdc4670 My response for today's #ds106 #DailyCreate

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free
— from The Peace Of Wild Things by Wendell Berry

A wandering wonderer,
pausing to peer into
the dappled head of a flower,
a hole inside the broken trunk
of an ancient tree, a mossy rock
cradled in the river, a writer
finding words inside the wild,
with hope, he's me

the world grows
the wood drake rests
the great heron
the peace of wild things who feel the stars waiting

The Peace of Wild Things

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.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free
