Overlook Then stones, wrung for their oil, became a picture etched in my mind Walls built, hand by hand, segregating one field from the other This feeling of timelessness lingers, shadowed in the half past of afternoon sun Pasture, or cropland, both flower now; and I wonder why this matters anymore Peered ‘Neath the brim of my straw hat, the path is dubious Still, does the stone know it has spirit, or is the strength of sledge merely a question sharp? From below, the canyon sends up secrets of whispering jonquil Scanning the horizon, I measure the distance to the ground Copyright Kkh 7/9/09 |

A fine write, imagery that takes the reader right to the stones and the plants in the canyon. |

Outstanding write, with beautiful hints to what I believe to be true... consciousness in all there exists, stones comprised. Wonderful! Love, Margherita |
