Winter Fields

Earthen Waves in rolls and folds
Crusty stalks and hedge rows

Trees naked, pencil sketched
On the canvas sky

Grasses golden and glowing
In the angled and thin winter light

Tweed-coated field wrap me up
In a warm breasted embrace

The winter silence of the earth is alive in me.
A fresh presence crunches under boot.

Long shadows, muted colors, winters humble-hidden service.

Field of Love, walking in me, sing out your Pascal mystery
