Simple Things

 

-------Simple Things-------

 

The fields we tend

are filled 

with fruit

 

And those

with seeds abundant.

 

The simple things

in life 

I find

 

Are often

the most profound.

 

-------

Memory

 

-------Memory-------

 

The smell of Rosemary

and Garlic 

and Sage

 

Brings me home

beyond 

the kitchen

 

To the land

that I

come from.

 

-------

As the Wind Blows

 

-------As the Wind Blows-------

 

Everyday

another leaf

turns

from green

to gold

 

As the wind 

blows in

an invitation

and opportunity

for changing.

 

-------

On the Far

 

-------On the Far-------

 

Getting close 

with grief

 

Like a golden leaf

 

On the far 

edge of Autumn

 

Bends

the line

 

Of linear time

 

And reminds me 

life is round.
