The green grass sways While the melody from the lone piper plays And the crickets and the owls patiently wait For the intro to their stanza by the old creaky gate The blue summer skies reach up high without a care While the earth worries incessantly and is constantly aware But, the cows are hardly moving and the flowers are still While time passes slowly out here on the hill

I love this ‘in the moment’ poem. I read it a couple of times. Welcome to Poetry Soup. Your poems are imaginative and fun. Best, SuZ

such a pastoral and serene scene you created, Robert. I want to go there upon on the hill. I especially liked 'the blue summer skies reach up high without a care while the earth worries incessantly and is constantly aware.' I don't think life on earth is supposed to be that way. enjoy your evening, Sara
