#ozark
wait for it and it doesn't come
caught off guard
incredulous singing
squawking pigeons
six in the morning
kings of the ready
dead finch
cats eat feathers
in the house of cards
down stairs ready
house of carnivores
company functions
canvass paints numbers
paints horses riding
steady in mind--
through
windy
ozark meadows
six in the morning
while the finch
sleeps in

A stream and pool, a gentle rain,
The smell of soaking wooded dirt
The feel of slowly cooling air in misty Summer as the gravel crunches beneath the weight of all the hopes and dreams of right now.
A distant call to wonder, a closer call to wander and a hill that hides a long walk back before the night claims victory
Mossy ponds, trails crossing trails and barbed wire blockades that shield from neighborly attack
The low call of bullfrogs and the bickering of birds, all dazzeling and swirling into a great sky of lightly dripping treetops
This beautful force of green and brown and rust and blue and quiet stillness and nature's obedience is everything that will ever matter as far as anyone can tell.
