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.

Such imagery! If only ranches were like that in real life.... or at least i wish mine was. or maybe it is. i guess it is different when you are the one doing the harvesting and working, sweating, aching, and tiring. As for the rain, GOD!!!, that is usually such a muddy mess, feeding horses and goats, washing muddy dogs...
but from the outside, yes, possibly it is that serene, like you made it here.
i really liked this a lot, though. relateable.
