in the softness of a field’s
pattern –
available to dry tongues

from the corner of the acreage
a deer bends
to drink -- rejoice

and when the clouds
gather across the western
sky –

rain trembles.

Richard, the quality of your 'eye' for taking natural observations and communicating them in beautifully poetic language is a real delight. That, alongside the sheer variety of themes (often spiritual) sets you apart. A beautiful poem for us here Richard. Thanks for sharing it. Congratulations on the well deserved cherries by the way.

For alvin, scratch and bear: Your beautiful comments humble me. Life is so worthwhile---an opportunity to share our intentions of good-will. My secret for the right word or phrase is praying over my work each time I write. And my inspirations come from my dear wife and special friends---Hughie who deals with MS with its debilitating factors and who never misses an opportunity to smile and encourage everyone around him---Dale who survived flying through a car window, twenty years ago, who cheerfully walks around town picking up paper garbage; and others who will soon find themselves in my poems. May Jesus bless each one of you this fine day. Richard and Esther ps. thank you ABCTeam for the lucious cherries.
