through the sheets of clouds, 

and there was a new voice 
which you slowly 
recognized as your own, 
that kept you company 
as you strode deeper and deeper 
into the world, 
determined to do 
the only thing you could do– 
determined to save 
the only life you could save.

-Excerpted from “The Journey” by Mary Oliver
