Morning Poem

by Mary Oliver

Every morning

the world

is created.

Under the orange 

sticks of the sun

the heaped

ashes of the night

turn into leaves again

and fasten themselves to the high branches—

and the ponds appear

like black cloth

on which are painted islands 

of summer lilies.

If it is your nature

to be happy

you will swim away along the soft trails 

for hours, your imagination

alighting everywhere.

And if your spirit

carries within it 

the thorn

that is heavier than lead—

if it’s all you can do

to keep on trudging— 

there is still

somewhere deep within you

a beast shouting that the earth

is exactly what it wanted— 

each pond with its blazing lilies

is a prayer heard and answered

lavishly,

every morning, 

whether or not

you have ever dared to be happy,

whether or not

you have ever dared to pray.

“‘But what will you do with the lazy man, the man who does not want to work?’ inquires your friend. That is an interesting question, and you will probably be very much surprised when I say that there is really no such thing as laziness. What we call a lazy man is generally a square man in a round hole. That is, the right man in the wrong place. And you will always find that when a fellow is in the wrong place, he will be inefficient or shiftless. For so-called laziness and a good deal of inefficiency are merely unfitness, misplacement. If you are compelled to do the thing you are unfitted for by your inclinations or temperament, you will be inefficient at it; if you are forced to do work you are not interested in, you will be lazy at it.”

Excerpt from the slam poem “Brother” by Sarah Kay

[bostonpoetryslam]

“Look at her: how the woman is floating, while trying to recall the exact last moment of her girlhood— where she was, what she was doing— when she finally learned what she’d been taught: to hate this fleshy sack of boring anecdotes and moles she’s lived inside so long, nemesis without a zipper for escape.”

— Erin Belieu, “She Returns to the Water,” via the Academy of American Poets
