Frames

Frames hold nature best.

A shafting of light sifts gray marsh and water--
turning past dim hills of hay
solemn in silence.

An essence of earthworms fill the air
as light seeps through a colander of clouds,
catching the ephemeral cattle in a vase of sun.

How gentle is the hand that lightly places
and is gone
as evening rings clear and cool
             like the edge of a wine glass.

Always thought Wyeth was the best at framing nature and you've got me thinking of his painting with this write ... smile ... wonderful music here and a well-deserved selection to be a feature this week. Congratulations, Glen.
