Click hereOh, dry and brittle field
Sun-dried bristles of strong and thick stemmed grass
Waving in the breeze so proudly
Jutting up defiant, defending their place on this earth
The chill in the air soothing broken strands
Frost settles like a comforting blanket
Icing the landscape with crystalline white
Sun rays reaching out from so far away
Relentless in futility in attempt to warm the earth
A sparrow alights on a woody strand
Boldly poking up towards the pale winter sky
Gold and shining, cold yet bearing seed
The food of hope to carry on
A small beak works the seeds from dry husks
Perhaps a few journey to nourish a barren belly
While the rest are carried on the breeze
That shifts the strand free of its feathered guest
The winged coadjutor takes flight
Loosening freely floating hopes
To roam the earth and find a place
To take root and grow first green
Then mature to continue life beyond mere dreams

Jennifer Calmost 19 years agoThis was lovely descriptive
writing, wonderful visuals
and the imagery was stunning.
Frost settles like a comforting blanket
Icing the landscape with crystalline white
Sun rays reaching out from so far away
Relentless in futility in attempt to warm the earth
Simply beautiful,
Thank you.
