WILD GEESE<\/p>\n

You do not have to be good.<\/strong>
\nYou do not have to walk on your knees<\/strong>
\nFor a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.<\/strong>
\nYou only have to let the soft animal of your body<\/strong>
\nlove what it loves.<\/strong>
\nTell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.<\/strong>
\nMeanwhile the world goes on.<\/strong>
\nMeanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain<\/strong>
\nare moving across the landscapes,<\/strong>
\nover the prairies and the deep trees,<\/strong>
\nthe mountains and the rivers.<\/strong>
\nMeanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,<\/strong>
\nare heading home again.<\/strong>
\nWhoever you are, no matter how lonely,<\/strong>
\nthe world offers itself to your imagination,<\/strong>
\ncalls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —<\/strong>
\nover and over announcing your place<\/strong>
\nin the family of things.<\/strong><\/p>\n
