the sheep herder


See yon man in hat,
vest, beard of a sheep herder,
his boots rimmed with mud?

His back is bent from shearings,
but his eyes shine like a kid's.

That's a way of life indeed ... one with all there is, time to breathe and time to just BE. Nature's rhythms lived serenely bring intimate joy

Beautiful work.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you, Yuka, for your kind comment.

Btw, being forced to lift 'way too much weight can do traumatic and permanent injury to one's back.

The shearer's injury is most likely due to chronic overuse, but it sometimes only takes one evil instance of such to hurt a person chronically and unjustly.

Tis the shearing of words that shines in your Uni-Verse of the soul of a poet.
