Farm Life

Clucking and crowing, Hens cackling echoes Telling me it’s time for The morning rounds Feeding and watering Bawling with brevity Calf yearning for milk While the bull paws The dirt, curling his lip Pursuing the cow’s heart Oink, oink, oink resonates Through the barnyard Drifting into the rafters Telling a tale of devouring Gone to the pig’s head There is never any boredom Found on a farm’s soil Where animals tend to Greet other animals As companions in history I love the flavors of insight Discovered in this natural Intimacy with domestic life Where God blesses the Tranquility and grace of home
