The Field

THE FIELD

Watch the wind as it plays a tune
on each blade of grass, as it blows
its merciful breath across the ground

What will it pick up on its way?
What story will it tell?
when it arrives at its final destination

Will it end due to the merciful
breath giving up
Or will it have paused to blow
against another object

Or will it just
pause…

Pause for a moment to think
out its next destination
Pause to pick up a friend,
A leaf or a new blade of grass

Pause to think of a way
to continue its journey
A journey that will never end
because the merciful breath
never

    STOPS!!
