On the Passing of Mary Oliver

Poems about Poetry / tagged Healing, Trauma / January 19, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
Mary Oliver did not write the stigmata of the crosses of her childhood Look there she said of the bear Look here she said of the hare See the crabs and see the sea See the wild goose Vee not me But all through the woods and along the shore there are drops to follow

Mary Oliver

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry, Travel / January 18, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
Of all the poets I admire only one did I envy How she could take us all on her journey remind us of the wild beauty of our lives and the soft animal of our bodies It is disowned parts of us I know that we hold too high or low And yet I wanted to go where she could go This year in the merry month of May on a trip in search of other things a book I didn’t know she’d written in a town where I didn’t know she’d lived I hung five days like her hummingbird on the green wheel of its wings Her flowers were my food her town became my town her dunes became my dunes Sip by sip on that Cape Cod shore I began to envy her less and love her more And that pretty green stone I was taking with me I threw it back into the sea

Marilyn Forever

Audio Recordings / tagged Marilyn Monroe / January 16, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
Many men may pray to Mary but many more to Marilyn With Marilyn on calendar or windowsill time stands still and always will It is Marilyn who always forgives even when we forget to pray It is Marilyn who knows that we are all Misfits too fragile for the roles we are asked to play

Marhesha’s Dream

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth / January 15, 2019 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
She opens a door into a huge domed stadium filled with men women and children, in costumes of all the ages She knows that they are all there for her to set up any drama at any time to learn any lesson she needs to learn She closes the door and walks down the corridor Another door to a storage closet Inside big barrels labeled “Plot Thickener”
