at giving grounds

gone by way
of shadow & wind
in swaying sheaves
gold gather the fields
low the stone walls
that let creeks
still run through

is that frost i hear?
creeping bone within

giving grounds knelt
at boulder trees grown
rock tripe in grey & blue
lay down plates
come gentle the rain
as they do

moor songs, mere
awash with that
salt hue

    Let Nature reveal what you need – the frost will crack the earth and let sight pour in.

      At this point, Nature is about the only entity I trust to remain truthful most days.
