Apprehension disappears ...

For Lysa, That She May Rise Early

For L M

Each morning between five and six
When twenty serious cows file out,
And the waking cries of sheep
Are the sweetest of the various sounds
That turn night into day,
The world’s weather is most inhuman,
Though most secure.
Apprehension disappears—
As if fog to some high ship ascends,
Mysterious as Prague,
As if you could become
One with the field itself,
And the motion of the animals.

—Robert McDowell

There are oceans in us, and streams; ponds, lakes, and rivers. There is a yearning to feel rooted, to be stable, to feel the earth and be part of it, sharing ancient ancestry with trees. Yet, there is also the realization, the sensation, that the waters in us are always circulating.
