Of Shadows and Winds

clouds shadow grounds and grasses
as cold winds deny spring

life pauses and passes
as I work along the side of a road

pavement must be sculpted
fields wait to become

trees waiting to bud
raise tangled arms

but a touch of sun
hints something more

a gust of wind carries birdsong
melody without words

a love of the land
little said
