Golden Beauty

A sea of golden beauty
floating on the wind swept
shores of humanity.
Sheer and wispy,
like that of angelhair,
with the glow of the sun
shining in a swirling mist of gold.
You walk through this golden beauty,
and it leaves a
spattering spray of gold
upon your dampened skin
and gently kisses your furrowed brow.
These sprays of gold
have been in your family for
three generations.
A life giving force
that touches your inner core.
You pray for rain-
You pray to be pestilence free
You pray for strength
Because
You help feed the world
You are the farmer of wheat
You are the farmer of golden beauty.

Love Bon-Bon

well, even though this is for him, I've read it and so happy I did, let me be the first to comment, what a journey this takes one on, and to boot a marvelous heartfelt caring tribute to a fine poet.

He'll love this...thanks Bon for sharing

Luv ya, Lee J.

This is incredible...I don't know what to say...

Except thank you, from the very center of me... this is so beautiful!

I've been dejected lately, thinking that almost nobody here really liked me or my work, and that maybe I should just quietly fade away... but this is absolutely renewing! I can't thank you enough for it.

Sorry to hear you are down, but don't think of leaving I for one enjoy your work. I always read, but sometimes do not know what to say.
Glad you enjoyed.
Love
Bon-Bon

How very beautiful! *S* And you couldn't have written for anyone more deserving... both your words and his renew and refresh... and bless the reader who stops to visit. *S*

Back for a second look...and a second thank you. You made my day, and maybe my week.

NO ONE IS LEAVING

there are no political prisoners here.......
though some of us have suffered a gag order once or twice
we are not being held hostage here,
we are free to leave,
but we choose to stay
NO ONE IS LEAVING
we are all one family under the sun
