the waking

The Waking
Theodore Roethke  (1953)

I woke to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.

We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
and learn by going where I have to go.

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.



P/s: another piece of poem. :D

korean drama lists

ROMANTIC + COMEDY ( ROMCOM) 1, Oh My Venus This is my TOD (top on demand). The woman character's is funny and sweet. The man lead is reliable and supportive in many ways. He helps her begins a new healthy life. The drama itself is refreshing. It is hard to hate the antagonists since love is selfish. I get to see the cheesy moments between the couples and their friends. I never know that self defense could become passionate times. *TAP TAP. Most importantly is, the supporting casts are extremely handsome! just imaging YOU live under one rooftop with 3 handsome, dashing MEN!!! *scream!! 2. Descendants of the sun This drama is about military + romance + comedy. It tells the story in its own unique way. Not many or this the very first genre ever had in drama industry. It is hard to believe that the locations taken were just in KOREA. At first, I really thought it was taken in Greece or somewhere other than Korea. This drama makes you think YOU A...
