Salt and Pepper

Salt and pepper fields are within its dour frame It seems as though there is some snow on the ground Trees harbor in the darkness holding no flame These few in the field shower to those around All else contains a mellow amount of grey Staining crops of grain that are made into hay Often the fog wisps through this field during dawn These are the best of things that life holds upon Russell Sivey
