“No Matter What” by Mary Oliver

Was reading one of my favorite poetry books today “Blue Horses” by Mary Oliver.

This one felt perfect for our current time.

————-

No matter what the world claims,

its wisdom always growing, so it’s said,

some things don’t alter with time:

the first kiss is a good example,

and the flighty sweetness of rhyme.

No matter what the world preaches 

spring unfolds in its appointed time,

the violets open and the roses,

snow in its hour builds its shining curves,

there’s the laughter of children at play,

and the wholesome sweetness of rhyme.

No matter what the world does,

some things don’t alter with time.

The first kiss, The first death.

The sorrowful sweetness of rhyme.
