Lost In Perfection


Under miles of wires
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.

  4. Oh, Butternut Squash, the poetry was melancholy but fine. Civilization in its advance has lost so much. Be safe and have a good trip.
