across roads long traveled
where the northwest winds blow,
and dust rides on the tail
of the iron horse and its road,
while fields sway in time
to songs long silenced
in memory of a mustang
strong and true ,
beauty unrivaled
with mane dancing wildly
galloping to the watering holes
deep in green and blue.
refreshing waters from upstream
pouring down south,
rippling over stones shaped
with wet palms rolling over
like the potter and her
sensuous song,
rhythm to the clay
moistened to the touch,
rising funnel ready for the heat,
bakers glaze to finish up,
work of heart given willingly
over to nature''s paradox between
the gold of the sun
and the onyx of night.
mingled together in the sky,
heavenly bodies unite,
creating showers bringing forth
birth in seeds lying dormant
in the earth,
long awaiting the call to appear,
something that assures them
there''s something out there,
something riding the
tides of the air.
nicely done,
peace,
carolyn
