This Land

began as an ocean

with lobsters

and sand dunes--  

proudly on the shore

ferns grew tall.

A rainbow forms

half a necklace

at dawn--

each end showing

baskets of gold

a treat for brave ones--

lap of grass climbs

from its roots.

Cows munch as royalty

on the pasture

and I am a voyeur

as a ray of sunshine

since I enjoy

the intensity of it all.
