in the season
of seeds
everything is giving
To Leave Is To Return
Flower Farm
giving, giving, giving
until taken
by the hard frost
Marshaled By Blue Sky
in the company
of blue sky and clouds
my strength gathers
Blue Is For Summer
blueberry bushes
rosy cheeked
in winter’s cold
Side By Side
a gathering
of out buildings
constitutes winter community
Protection And Care
the fence line wanders
towards the road
then cutting right
to safeguard the herd
Morning Greeting
each day
the first friends I see
four fields across the way
Bare Ground Blue Sky
opportunity taken
the farmer feeds
his fallow field
A Satisfaction
a contented lowing
released into the mist rise
of the morning
Round Bales
the hay harvest
rolling in
like a weather front
Weathered Boards
old barn
heart chamber
of the farm
Winter Renewed
a small fresh snow
everything clean and coated
the landscape whitewashed
The Loving Landscape
red barn valentine
from the farm
to every passerby
Quiescent
winter afternoon
stillness shrouds the farm
the dormant season settles on
Swishing At Flies
nose deep
in sweet grass
the tail comforts
while duty waits
How Else Can We Dream?
this barn with a picture window
it seems even tractors need
a room with a view
We Grow, Grow, Grow
contrary to their neat rows
the seedlings desire
of life is feral
And Sometimes
the journey home
is strikingly different
but the destination is the same
New To The World
oh to be
inquisitive
young and clean
Spring’s Aura
almost invisibly the willow
begins to emanate
her green energy field
The Long Wait
in the emptiness
of April
gifts of possibility
The Long Fence
white posts and rails
stretch farther than memory
fastening the farm in place
Melt
only the sun knows
when the roofline
will give way
The Orchard In Winter
revealing the sense
of being solitary
inside togetherness
Stillness Settles On
in February
only snow
ascends the hay ladder
Time’s Vision
the barn’s
one empty window
an all seeing eye
Agricultural Adornment
pigeons
on the silo
like jewels on the crown
Descendants
a heritage of buildings
barns grow
with the generations
At The Center
the heart
of the farm
the red barn
Rest
the design
of dormancy
is renewal of energy
