Gray Clouds
Psalm 19-120A

Virdant Prairie
Virdant Prairie
Dawn hugs low
long shadows of Spring
Rich green pastures
shimmers in young light

Old Oaks
Old Oaks
Bark callous and thick
deep ridges of course skin
sloughs off confirms death
budless branches stand stark
Once young and tender
pliable in fierce winds
now arthritic and stiff
totters to stay upright
Roots once gripped strong
now let go adrift in soil
unmoored stands at angle
old oaks fall hard

Liminal
Liminal
Somberness oozes out
memories blend cause such doubt
Unnecessary suffering runs deep
in liminal space between wake and sleep

Buried
memories bulldozed down
dilapidated farm flattened
back into the prairie
