Of Being by Denise Levertov. Formal

"I know this happyness
Is provisional:
the looming presences-
great suffering,great fear-
withdraw only
into peripheral vision:
but ineluctable this shimmering
of wind in the blue leaves:
this flood of stillness
widening the lake of sky:
this need to dance,
this need to kneel:
this mystery:"

wow, kind of confusing poem to me, I was looking through the book and stoped to read this poem. At first I was like dunno about it but I came back to it and read it again and thought wierd, I wonder what this is about. Im not really for certain what it means but to me I think Denise Levertov is explaining life to her. What its like "Of Being" in life. All the mystery about life. The need for happyness "Dance" and the need to look up to a higher power "Kneel." How in life there is suffering and fear and withdraw and how people dont see outside of their "Peripheral Vision." Also she is saying how happyness is Provisional meaning not lasting forever (if i looked it up right). There is alot of truth to this poem and it really stuck out to me after I had read it a few times. Pretty good.
