lightspeed

I

duck into tree light

while this red earth field,

seven years ripe,

germinates small answers

to questions hard planted.

 

You,

Shroud in silence,

drink the silver night air

while the elusive slips

silently by.

 

We

stand sky-high

weaving through

grain threshed

wind swept fields.

 

Suddenly,

awakened by the capacious star's

rising yellow ardor,

verdant implants of dewy life

lift skyward and scatter untrodden roots.
