Under miles of wires
an ocean of grass
an ocean of grass
no weed but a seed
of prairies long passed
A personal thought
let slip away
retelling the tales
of ordinary days
On circles on circles
Round we all mow
In search of reminders
Of things we let go
Rambling thoughts
Like imperfect flowers
Warm fragrant forrests
And leisurely hours
by Butternut Squash
I will be gone for a few days. I have to go make a living. Be well and know that I am thinking of you even if I am not able to write to you. Peace.
I came in from 100 Words a day. You have a lot of heart here.
