The Gleaning


Listen, can you hear?
Can you see the tears
her heart sheds
for her children? 
From birth
the Earth
sustains,
remains
constant,
reliable,
viable,
strong.
How long?

    1. We need to recognize her being and accept our responsibility. This will help her to heal. Thanks Pam.

    1. Nice, John. I’m watching a pair of mourning doves beside the little lake right now.
