Ghairo Daniels Poet Ekphrasis

Tranquil Life : Shepherd and Sheep

We frame his daily work of love 
along a mirrored river of calm
brown legs and arms reaching for above
snow white their wool where they belong 
such peace not to be fleeced ~
he cuddles them where nature is song

Hills ribboned breasts peachy orange
prime colours are all we need
this is how we feed from Earth’s
core green sweet …
