The Farm's Blessing.

A life on the land.

The wind falls deep,

Across Summer's grass,

Preparation for Winter,

The grass colour will pass.

The spirit now settled,

The ocean unchanged,

The rocks are receding,

From sky it has rained.

The nests now shadowed,

Animals are maturing,

Birds of no fear now,

Once scary now alluring.

Crops now are harvested,

Pales now brought in,

Food plenty for Winter,

For all of his kin.

The late summer is high-lighted beautifully here, I loved the second and last stanzas. You brought past present and future into this, besides a nice feel for the elements, wildlife and harvest. Lovely. Great Title, the idea of life on the land is heaven to me. Thanks.
