Silt
Life flows down
from mountains
hard concrete ditch
in eddies silt collects
in the murkiness
memories wash
further down
'til finds its way
onto the loam
softened gumbo
mixing together
beneath feet
nurishing the prairie

Silt

Grounded
Grounded
Alfalfa and grass crunch
Under foot as predawn light
Awakens mind observe beauty
Refreshed from yesterday's heat
Water splashes out
Of gates from plastic ditch, ground
Sighs softly, life giving
Streeks of green, water works deep
Ebb and flow harkens to connection with soil
Grounds all that rest upon
Simple therapy unburden heart
Baggage of life lightens with each step
