Her Wheatfield of Mud Part 1

This is to be a collection of poems of a image l saw and will never forget how it humbled me. Her Wheatfield of Mud part 1 She walks the mud, as fields of wheat her heavy burden, a daily meet her house of boards her fortress own her daily trek pains hers alone l watch afar in tourist car she's no idea im very close, she's very near. this image seen & what it means her vision's time has entered mine.

hi John..l keep getting flash backs that wont go away to the image l witnessed when we went to Africa yrs ago.l need to paint it.A lone,proud woman, wading knee high to reach her home,food basket on her head through a field that was just total mud Something else in the field,which will be revealed in my collect of poems l was mesmerized.How we drink in sights and sounds John.Some good,but some torture us.
