a few lines from "The Sun" by Mary Oliver

... do you think there is anywhere,
in any language,
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure
that fills you,
as the sun
reaches out,

as it warms you
as you stand there,
empty-handed---
or have you too
turned from this world

or have you too
gone crazy for power,
for things?
