1 " How It Seems To Me

In the vast abyss before time, self
is not, and soul commingles
with mist, and rock, and light. In time,
soul brings the misty self to be.
Then slow time hardens self to stone
while ever lightening the soul,
till soul can loose its hold of self
and both are free and can return
to vastness and dissolve in light,
the long light after time. "

― Ursula K. Le Guin , So Far So Good: Final Poems: 2014-2018

2 " Wakeful

Islanded

Snow and silence in the streets.
Winter in the bone.
In silent houses people sleep.
each one alone.
Self-islanded by thought and dream
the solitary soul
forgets the deepest depth, the earth
that joins us all. "

― Ursula K. Le Guin , So Far So Good: Final Poems: 2014-2018
