These are two of the lines from a student's poem. I think they are fantastic.
"Sit in the sand and smell the sea."
"I finally feel the warm wind."
It makes me so happy when my students "get it". :)

from "The Dovekie" by Mary Oliver
"To know our world is to be busy all day long with happiness."
Mary Oliver's poetry has a way of transporting me from the business of everyday life to a beautiful world that is only available to those who stop to see it. Her writing is so relaxing that I often find myself swaying to the rhythm of the whispering trees she writes about. I highly recommend her poetry especially to those who love nature...or want to love it better.
