Wish I Could Write Like That

While perusing FaceBook and avoiding working on my dissertation defense, I came across the following link that provides an excellent look at depression. Just wanted to share with everyone--those of you who suffer from depression will totally understand, those who don't understand depression may gain some insights. Sure wish I could write like that.

Enjoy!

I will try--by Mary Oliver

I will try.

I will step from the house to see what I see

and hear and I will praise it.

I did not come into this world

to be comforted.

I came, like red bird, to sing.

But I'm not red bird, with his head-mop of flame

and the red triangle of his mouth

full of tongue and whistles,

but a woman whose love has vanished,

who thinks now, too much, of roots

and the dark places

where everything is simply holding on.

But this too, I believe, is a place

where God is keeping watch

until we rise, and step forth again and --

but wait. Be still. Listen!

Is it red bird? Or something

inside myself, singing?
