green field of new sprouts
speckled with Canada geese
farmer not happy
green field of new sprouts
speckled with Canada geese
farmer not happy
heaven’s countenance
reflected in calm waters
serenity matched
gold sheen on green field
predawn glow’s promise
blossoms to rose-petalled clouds
too soon beauty fades
bottle-necked then go
to seventy and back to stop
not for faint of heart
