Come with me across this field

Jun 11, 2020 | Beauty

Wherever you are
is called here.

So now the ears of my ears
awake.

My feet encounter
the soft forest floor.

Poems by E. E. Cummings, David Wagoner and Greg Keelor read by Kari King

Lost

by
David Wagoner

Stand still.
The trees ahead
and the bushes beside you
are not lost.

Wherever you are is
called Here.

Listen to the full poem…
