fields – Page 2 – Leaf And Twig

Long River

fertile fields reside
along the river’s sides

When the grass greens
it’s nearing the time to take off
your winter coat.

Leafless trees dream
of growing rows in full fields

More beauty than the eye can hold,
enough to lift the soul.

Before the sky is reliably blue
before the fields have greened
forsythia champions Spring.

Four fallow fields full of snow
hold their place on the mountain side
patiently waiting for Spring to arrive.

Alone in the fields
contemplation holds my hand.
Reverence is my path.

The fields empty at dusk.
The kitchen fills with the sound of hungry forks
and the quiet of resting work boots.

In August, with your metal seat as hot as a branding iron,
you rumble across the fields, chewing rocks and cutting grass.
True champion of summer.
