"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?

"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.

"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.
