Farming A Nation
Back drives me cold
Plant at village
Busy morning.
Season's shortage
Between rice price
Need force to plant.
Each time pants on
Soaking the mud
Life hard living.
Love those who work
A farm living
Help a nation.

The Magic of the Farming Days
In the quiet morning light I see
the deep oshanas breaking round
like a boundless oasis that is bright
and the echoes of the cattle happily resound.
Manna of the north is planted
and the mielies grow around the homestead
harrowed as the family toiled
the soil swallows the breeze of the drizzle ahead.
Oh, how peaceful northern life
its addictive

Sweet Dreams
She tasted like honey, like apples ripe,
A sweetness that lingered in the night's sweet light.
With every breath, I drank her soul,
And found in her touch, I was made whole.
She tasted of sugar, a kiss in the breeze,
The flutter of wings in the tallest of trees.
She brought the sun when my skies were gray,
And melted the

Milk Hewn Lives
While the milk cow hastens
Toward a worn barn,
Gray as the edges of melancholy,
Erasing the spring, breaking through Summer
Like Sunday, wearing her best suit
Rustling on the wings of Saturday’s robins,
Starving for Monday, while her words
Still the grief that comes from knowing
The week behind her will not come
Again, peppering the wind
With grace and love,
Intense as the

Hands Us
. for public domain
Among the trials and challenges
the Lord of Life hands us,
I find them more livable
in Smith Center, Kansas.
True wealth of a nation,
humble dignity of its people,
down to earth statesmenship,
bowed heads under a steeple.
The center of our nation,
strong heart of our soul,
wisdom rooted in the fields,
the cherry in the bowl.

Pharmakeia Farming
You are a garden once bloomed,
supple brightness now withered and cold,
lost to the eyes, gaunt succumbed to the reclusive catacombs from the daylight and Sun.
Lost in the echoes of a forgotten past,
a forgotten childhood of
dreams trashed in a flushed cache.
Memory fades, but faith is forever avast
and yet

Death and Farming
life is the harvest
death is closing the barn gate
leaving all behind
everything that grows
will slowly come to its death
there is no simple way

Farming
Some things are a given
When you work upon the land
You can always guarantee
Things will not go to plan
The minute you're in charge
And everyone has gone away
A problem will crop up
Promptly ruining your day
You go out to see the cattle
Checking their welfare
And find the electric fence is off
And the

Country Roads
Walking country roads, farmlands, my dreams rouse
Faith blessing those who believe in His grace
Over meadows, past gardens, through the house
Erasing dark with morn’s stirring embrace
Faith blessing those who believe in His grace
Lovely children, we strive to show our worth
Erasing dark with morn’s stirring embrace
Whispers of light gently flow o’er the earth
Lovely children, we strive to

Mine Gerund Farming, Tilling, and Harvesting Illogical Weltanschauung
Mine gerund farming, tilling, and harvesting illogical weltanschauung
Twas accursed destiny

when protectiveness courtesy
