"MORE THAN ENOUGH"

"Never catch a break,"
Said Harold.
"Not from these storms."
More rain than 
He needs.
More wind than his crops
Can handle.

Livestock jumpy in
Their pens,
Soaked rows of
Fresh turned hay.
Never-ending battle
In the middle of 
This land.

"SOUNDS OF WATER"

I walk through the field,
Smelling the damp air.
Search the distance
For the glint 
Of water.

Around the bend,
Noises of swift moving
Water.

Never disappointed
On the road
Less Traveled.

"HAVEN"

The only conifer
On the hill.
Safety net for
Birds in flight.
From a distance,
A murmuring of swallows
Sweeps inside its
Shape.

Minutes pass, I anticipate
The explosion
And am not 
Disappointed.

Alone.
Ageless feeling of
Solitude.

"FOLLOWING"

Wandering is a passion.
Maybe, an obsession.
Many miles, in this 
Life,
Have started simply to 
Find a quiet 
Path.

Walking on the dust of 
Past genereations
Fills one with a desire 
To find meaning for
This meandering.
Deep thought come
Unbidden.
Filling the
Void.

"HOMEWARD BOUND"

Long road, longer
Days.
The cliche, A farmer's 
Work is never
Done. 
At the end of the road,
A home cooked
Meal,
And family.
What more could one
Ask?
                             JP
"HAVE YOU EVER SEEN...."

Last bit of light
Washing off the field.
Waiting for the rush
That comes with  the
Wind.

Rain, drenching thirsty
Fields.
Deep breath,
Catching the clean
Smell.
Coming down on a 
Sunny day!!

"OWNING THE HILL"

Long walk to the 
Top.
Early Autumn,
Air is crisp.
Days are shorter
Now.
Sunlight is cherished
As nights grow
Longer.
Walk back is
Colder,
Aches in every 
joint.
View worth every
Grumble I
Make.

​"THE OTHER TRAIL"

Not one to be cowed by
Distance,
Even though the 
Pathway stretched unending
Took a chance to find
Its purpose.

Watched for signs of 
Reason
For this never ending,
 Dusty route.
Nothing in sight for 
Miles.
A quick step to the side
To watch the mail truck 
Pass!

"TRAVELING LIGHT"
ROAD TO ABBY'S

"She's 84", my mother said.
"Stop by", my mother said.

Porch swing in the 
Sunset.
Sitting on the fence waiting.
She beckons,
Sat for an hour waqtching
The sun go down.
Sharing peach cobbler.
Each sharing something
With our silence.

Fifty years gone,
Same swing,
Empty house.
Sharing the silence 
Again,
And a peach cobbler
Sunset.


       JP
"FARTHEST REACH"

Been all the way to
those hills.
Farther may not be 
Possible.
But trying is.

Age matters only
 to those that
Count.

Really think that the
New knee
Needs to prove
Itself.
Go for it!!!

​"ORANGE COLORED SKY"

Never ceases to 
Amaze.
No matter the number of 
Times.
Photographs don't
Express, 
Paintings can't 
Depict
The brilliance of
Your first
Orange Colored
Sky.

"OVERGROWN"

Old path, long
Abandoned.
Haven't been there for years.
Half forgotten memories
Resurface.
Alone with my thoughts, 
Recalling childhood 
Forays.
Missing friends on 
Horseback, 
And dogs that follow.
Across this field
A way still shows.
Worth the effort.
Time spent wandering
With companions in my
Heart.
