HOME

 

All his mornings

       in distant lands

               the fingers of his soul

Reached out

       caressing,

               even making love,

To the wheat fields of his home.

 

Truly,

       as a lover knows

              the ripeness of his mate,

Fingertips,

        in gentle, flowing touch

              knew harvest near.

 

Heart-satisfied,

         his farmer's soul

               reclined upon its inward couch...

And smiled.
